BACKGROUND
Multiple Lifetimes of overlapping Experiences
Because ...
"God don't make no junk!"
Many miles, on many roads...
"Reaching for the Stars"
© 2014 J.R. Hildebrand
“Going to and beyond the Moon – becoming an inter-stellar traveler, requires astronauts that have massive backgrounds in all facets of life, from history to mechanics and everything in between. If you can dream and believe, while using your God given capabilities to learn, you can accomplish anything you desire to achieve. Success is often a perceived failure turned inside out. To not try is the true failure.”
“God didn’t make any junk. If you want to be like Him, learn and master everything you can and more. Learning one thing and then focusing on that all your life is not only a waste of your free agency and the gifts that God has given you, but an affront to His generosity and trust. I am grateful that God did not stop designing when He finished with the Amoeba.”
To paraphrase a Biblical admonition;
“A candle hidden in a box is of no value to anyone.”
If you believe in God, why do you not believe in yourself?
Why do you not trust Him with full faith as you move forward?”
Smoke Rises
on Wings of Faith,
Without Fear,
To Ride With the Wind.

LIFETIME OBJECTIVE
My personal goal is to apply my substantial abilities toward helping others meet their goals in a team effort. Change is an inevitable fact of life, especially in these fast moving times. Making the most of change requires active versatility and positive adaptability. My extensive business experience has given me ample opportunity to become proficient in both of these disciplines.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
FILM PRODUCTION – CONSULTANT* / LINE PRODUCER
A lifetime of experience in film production as a Line Producer, Production Manager, Writer, Director, Location Scout, Location Manager, Transportation Coordinator, Logistics & Operations Coordinator, Field Coordinator and Stunt Safety Coordinator. I am also an accomplished photographer, videographer and cameraman. My career began in high school when I was shooting both 35 mm stills and 16 mm motion pictures. With this experience, I understand the inspirations and frustrations of the creative and photographic people.
On the flip side, my business background contributes to my reverence for logistics, budgets and the necessity of working with personnel and locations in a way that satisfies all aspects of the production. I designed and produced the “Light the Fire Within” campaign for the USOC 2002 Winter Olympics, bringing this massive project to fruition 15% under budget!
My photography continues to be utilized by Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah in their advertising materials. Other recent COMMERCIAL & PRINT AD credits (including Visa, Chevy, NBA, Toyota, Jeep, Kellogg’s, Honda, Volkswagen, GMC, Volvo, Dodge Trucks, Ford, Blair, Talbot's, Chadwick's, etc.) available upon request.
OTHER NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
Managing Partner of Clark’s Pharmacy, Kremmling, Colorado. My involvement with Clark’s began as a small investment that rapidly expanded to require more than passive interest. In 2003, problems with the business required my full time attention. At the time when I took full management control, the business was six figures in debt and nearly bankrupt. Twenty-four months afterward, the prescription portion of the pharmacy business alone sold for a very reasonable six-figure sum.
(Kremmling is a remote mountain town with a population of only 1500 people.)
DEF Development ++
Contract - Operations and Program Coordinator with MDE International, Inc. Burton, Michigan and Commerce City, Colorado for Navistar Truck/Engine testing and evaluation. Organized and implemented new facility and operations at this site. Later transferred to Aurora, Colorado to streamline Hino Trucks (Toyota) new engine testing program. This assignment involved working with a continually revolving group of Japanese engineers and dozens of employees in a 24/7environment. Highly successful enhancements to operations were implemented using my production development and management skills. This success lead to similar program development and coordination at the Aurora site for PACCAR Corp. (Peterbilt trucks). 2009 through mid-2014.Today, every truck or car on the road and powered with a diesel engine runs clean with the technology gleaned from these programs.

Of Note>
I was recruited by AMOCO Oil Company (Marketing Div.) before graduation and immediately put to work helping to salvage a floundering public relations and
informational unit. My early background in film played a major role in this employment. I enjoyed an active relationship with AMOCO as a consultant for several years.
