Mark Buchheim

“Without Mark I would not have achieved my Bachelor of Science in Management from Pepperdine. I was working in an intense 24/7 entertainment media encoding environment with him. He told me to apply. So, I did. Because I trusted his judgement, not only in highly technical solutions, but also my future career development. Mark was such an amazing mentor to me. I'm truly grateful for that experience. This guy is so insanely intelligent and scary good at anything regarding IT ops. It would be intimidating if not for his hilarious sense of humor and all around SoCal personality. Excited to see his future career achievements. He deserves his success. All the best :)”

“Mark is one of the most results oriented individuals I have had the pleasure to work with. While at AOL's Entertainment Asylum, Mark developed a database system that enabled innovative web publishing on a daily and archival basis, incorporating on demand videos, slideshows, live events, interactive chats and polling tools, thereby increasing our users and time spent on site, while reducing costs and attracting solid revenues.”

“Mark's the first guy i met in my career that "just got things done". He's a heads-down operator, no-nonsense manager, and a strong visionary rooted in business success. He's got a tenacity to understand all facets of a problem that's the envy of all his peers and an unrelenting drive to see things to completion. Give him the parameters of success, goals, targets, and running room... you will never be disappointed.”

“Mark is a gifted leader and motivator. He has an incredible work ethic and inspires nothing but the best from his co-workers. He has a rare blend of exceptional technical knowledge and yet is very personable and concerned for his employees. He is sure to continue to excel at anything he puts his mind to. I am thankful for his leadership and our continued friendship.”

“Mark is one of the smartest technical guys I know. When we worked together at AOL (when the internet was just blossoming) Mark stood leaps and bounds above others. He works incredibly hard and has a personality that makes you want to work with him. Seriously talented guy who I'd always want to have on my team.”

“I have worked with Mark for 3 years and he never ceases to impress me with his wide ranging knowledge and technical background. His leadership skills are invaluable and he applies them on a daily basis in a way that makes his team and peers work effectively to accomplish their tasks. Mark’s approach to solving problems and situations that arise has always been with effectiveness and outside the box thinking when necessary to solve the matter at hand. He continues to show his professionalism and dedication to the company as a whole by constantly taking on projects whether they fall under his department or not, setting the standard on how a leader and team player gets the job done. He conveys an indefatigable work ethic, novel approach, and energetic character that allow individuals on his team to accomplish and surpass their goals.”

“I had the privilege of working closely with Mark while we were both at AOL's Entertainment Asylum. He's extremely bright, a very quick learner and an excellent technologist. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Mark again any time anywhere as he is a tremendously valuable addition to any team.”

“Mark is without a doubt one of the leading experts when it comes to dealing with video online. Take his advice to save a fortune in time and money with any online video venture.”

“Mark is perhaps one of the best and brightest I have ever worked with. His in-depth knowledge of the many technologies necessary to build, scale and operate a fast paced technology team is daunting. Mark’s sincere and open demeanor make him a pleasure to work with. Through the many projects we have collaborated on I’ve always had positive and project improving interactions with Mark. I would strongly endorse Mark for all his future endeavors.”

“Mark is digital savant when it comes to technology, web applications and online media in general. He's very professional, accomplished and always delivers.”

“Mark not only has a thorough understanding of broadcast and internet technology, but he is also a man who is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He brings a tireless work ethic, innovative approach, and driving spirit that empowers those around him to reach and exceed their goals.”

“Mark was extremely helpful, and a major part of why FHM and the online product were (and still are) so successful.”

“Superb service is all I can say. I highly recommend him to everyone.”

“Mark’s diverse technical background and interpersonal skills allows him to be a very effective leader. I have worked with Mark on numerous projects at AOL and have always been impressed with his ability to lead his team, while managing multiple AOL production studios. Mark has demonstrated time and time again that he is a dedicated, focused, and talented individual and is highly regarded amongst his peers and subordinates. Mark’s positive attitude, leadership qualities, and creative thinking, makes him one of the best directors I have had the pleasure of working with.”

“Mark is an exceptional colleague. He works extremely hard and always comes through. Many a time he has bailed me out of a 14+ hour day. I would highly recommend him.”

“Mark made a service recommendation based on the work we do in the entertainment industry and then put the infrastructure in place that our business now lives by. That infrastructure allows our company to move data easily all over the world (graphics, visual effects) for various clients working with up to 50 simultaneous artists at any given time. Can't recommend Mark and OTNY's services enough! Erik Adams Madrik Mutlimedia”
