SURGICAL MEDIA PRODUCTIONS - Key Persons

David has nearly 25 years of experience in the video and multimedia production industry, including 10 years specializing in medical / surgical production. David began his career in 1988 as a producer for live media events. In 1996, he moved to VMI Company where he designed, sold and installed high-end video production systems. He was also appointed as the company's technology specialist for the emerging digital and high-definition video markets. Around 2000, David began leading the company's efforts to expand their presence in the medical / surgical video industry. His focus was to develop video systems designed specifically for surgical acquisition. He designed and implemented numerous systems, both mobile and installed, for customers throughout the Midwest. At the same time, David started developing a successful freelance business as a producer, videographer and editor. In 2005, David started Media in Mind. The company offers full service video and multimedia production to a variety of customers. Shorty thereafter, he began focusing on medical / surgical production; a field that he was already familiar with because of his success at VMI. He steadily built this end of the company, logging hundreds of hours of OR acquisition. Finally, in 2011, David and Nick Lammers combined their experience and resources to create a entity that is dedicated to and specializes in the unique and demanding needs of the medical community.

Nick has over 25 years of experience in medical / surgical video production. He began his career in 1989 as a videographer and editor for Medical Video Productions in St. Louis. He later moved to Missouri Bone and Joint Center where he found success as a producer and media manager until 1998. In that same year, Nick formed Media Mill Productions and purchased the Video Journal of Ophthalmology (VJO). As owner and publisher of the VJO, Nick managed all operations and significantly expanded the Journal's circulation, while also functioning as its primary producer and videographer. He interfaced with many world-renown surgeons and implant manufacturers to acquire content and secure sponsorships for the Journal. Around 2005, Nick expanded Media Mill by making it the primary production resource for numerous orthopedic implant manufacturers and other medical video journals. Eventually, Media Mill merged with Med21, publisher of the Video Journal of Orthopedics. He successfully produced content for both Journals and various other medical clients until he liquidated his interest in the company in 2010 to pursue other business interests. The following year, he and a long-time business acquaintance, David Sauer, began to discus a partnership in the surgical media industry. After completing several successful joint projects, Nick and David developed Surgical Media Productions.
