"My work and experience in the field, and notable client list, speaks for the strength and quality of my talents, character and abilities."

--Michael Speigner

Michael Speigner has been working in the Graphics and Multimedia industry for over 14 years. He has served his country in both the U.S.A.F. as a Law Enforcement Specialist and U.S.C.G. as a Machinery Technician, earning the U.S.A.F. Commendation Medal in 1989, and Sailor of the Quarter in the U.S.C.G. in 1992.

During Michael's service with the Coast Guard, he was commissioned by his Captain to develop and produce training videos for his command as well as become the ship's Training Officer.

When Petty Officer Speigner's term with the Coast Guard ended in 1993, he decided to start his own Video Production Studio in Columbus, Ohio and won national awards for animation and corporate video production. It wasn't long after that he began his longtime standing relationship with Popular Science Magazine as a technical Illustrator.

Michael has worked as a Lightwave Specialist doing projects with clients such as Pacific Data Imaging, Electronic Arts, CNN, FOX and many other motion picture effects houses across the world. His expert knowledge in both Video Production and Lightwave 3D led him to earning his NewTek Certified Lightwave 3D Instructor's Certificate as well as accreditation to teach Video Production and Graphics at Florida Metropolitan University without having a degree himself.

Michael is an avid aviator (FAA Commercial Multi-Engine Instrument Pilot) and has worked with Sporty’s Aviation Training Academy, Boeing Aircraft, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Flight International, and NASA. He is also experienced in Flight Simulation, and worked with Microsoft for their Flight Simulator 2000.

Michael, his wife Wendy and daughter Stephanie currently live in Orange City, Florida, just north of Orlando.
