Gino Guarnere is a graduate of West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a degree in music. He did his graduate studies in Music at Temple University and is also a graduate of the University of Salzburg in Salzburg, Austria, where he did intensive summer study. A trained pianist, he finished his musical studies with one of the most sought-after pedagogues on the planet, the redoubtable Eleanor Sokoloff of The Curtis Institute of Music.

Guarnere’s background in technology began 10 years ago when he started working in the field of motion graphics and design. After stints doing design and analysis work for the likes of Bank One, Disney, and SEI Investments, he began working in video and film. He currently focuses his film studio in the area of biographical and documentary-style videos. During the day, he manages the enterprise-wide E-Learning initiatives for a company in the medical industry. He is also a frequent clinician and guest speaker on such subjects as rapid video, E-Learning, Digital Asset Management, and Web 2.0.

Gino got the film bug a few years back when he saw his grandfather featured in the HBO Mini Series, Band of Brothers. Upon realizing the heroism of his grandfather, he was astounded by the power of film. He also realized that had it not been for his grandfather, he wouldn’t be here today. He picked up a camera and just started documenting “the important” in the same way Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg did for the veterans of World War 2.

Gino also runs the wildly popular website Wild Bill Guarnere.com which receives millions of visitors each year from all over the world. It was handcrafted and built by his digital media company, Pixeldust Films. At home, he is the proudest dad on the planet and has a son and a daughter. His beautiful wife keeps him going with creative ideas, love, and just the right amount of circumspect.

Gino is also a long-distance runner and recently got his butt kicked in his first marathon. This blog serves primarily as a place to record his training, with an occasional sprinkle of other generica just to keep it interesting.
