About the author

Professor of Projection and author of Career Projection 101 and Video Projection 101, Clem Harrod serves as the owner and Chief Projection Officer of CLEMCO.AV and Chief Executive Officer of Certified AV, which he established in April of 2016 and 2022. Clem began studying the art of Television and Event Production in middle school in the early 1990s. After graduating from high school, Clem began working toward his bachelor's degree in Media Production at Florida State University and was an active member in the College of Communication's professional production group known as Seminole Productions. It was there Clem learned three key skills: the art of storytelling and seeing things for more than what they appear to be on the surface, the ability to anticipate and predict outcomes through shooting sporting events, and how to stay focused and attentive while working in energetic and entertaining environments. Upon his graduation from Florida State in 2001, Clem began an internship with the Orlando Magic. There, he established himself as a very talented Sports Videographer and continued shooting NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, and various other NCAA events for fifteen years. Through his contacts in the broadcast industry, Clem was introduced to Corporate Event Production. Here, Clem began as a Stagehand and, through his strong work ethic and friendly personality, quickly worked his way up the ranks to become a very skilled Video Projectionist. With a new career focus, Clem decided to retire from the sports broadcast sector of the industry and devote his time to teaching and growing his business. Now, CLEMCO.AV partners with production companies and their Fortune 500 clients to produce events around the country. After leaving sports, Clem's desire was to understand how to best manage the personal and professional side of the Freelance/Independent Contractor lifestyle. Enlisting the help of various service providers, Clem created CLEMCO.HR, a solution that didn't exist when he started his career. With the newly found sense of balance and work life integration, Clem is now able to spend quality time with his family and educate others on his Projection 101 philosophy.
