As president and owner of MotionMasters, Diana is hands-on in every aspect of her company's business. She has led film crews into remote villages in Africa-five times. She visited India with a Marshall University contingent and logged hours toward her M.B.A.
In addition to running the company, she writes scripts, directs live action, casts talent, produces video, edits copy, advises on public relations and serves as project manager, executive producer or creative director for much of the work we do.

Diana is a veteran of the communications industry, serving as the CEO of MotionMasters since 1988, and prior to that as its vice president and executive producer. With more than three decades in the communications industry, she has led innumerable public relations, advertising, marketing and political campaigns designed to educate, motivate and persuade. Under her direction, the company has evolved from a film and video firm serving West Virginia clients to an award-winning producer of educational media and documentaries that are distributed nationally.
Wesley is a traveler. But not in the traditional sense. Wes does most of his scenic sightseeing through the lens of a video camera. When he experiences the beauty of his home state of West Virginia or when he marvels at the lush green landscapes of Africa, it's to capture it in video for others to experience also. "MotionMasters takes people places," he says. "I wouldn't have had the opportunity to go to so many places and meet so many interesting people if I hadn't been shooting for our clients."
