Career Change! Mark DuMond at Le Cordon Bleu!

After a long career in the media production business, I'm embarking on an exciting career change. On April 5th, I started attending Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. I graduated on December 17th with an Associate Degree Applied Science, and I also just completed a six-week externship at The Rainier Club in downtown Seattle, one of the top kitchens in the Pacific Northwest, studying under Executive Chef Bill Morris and Executive Sous Chef Jim Campbell. I'm still interested in television and related media production arts and I'm still producing for entities such as Coming Attractions Theatres and Greg Frederick Productions, but my slant into the culinary field is determined.

I'm currently seeking employment in the culinary industry. I can be contacted via email (cafedumond@comcast.net) or cell phone (425-306-9142).

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT MARK DuMOND

"For nearly twenty years, Mark DuMond reported to me in various management positions in my corporation. He was production manager at my NBC affiliate television stations in Medford and Klamath Falls, Oregon for many years. He was also founding general manager of COBI Digital HD (now Pilot Rock Productions). When Mark moved to Seattle in 2003 because of his wife’s career, I asked him if he would be willing to stay on the job in southern Oregon, and he agreed to do it. For nearly four years, Mark commuted from his home in Seattle every week to continue to lead the team at COBI Digital HD, which is by any measure an extraordinary level of commitment and loyalty.

Mark DuMond proved to be a passionate leader of people with remarkable coaching skills. He is a definite “people person” and over the years I can’t think of a single individual who worked with or for Mark who didn’t like and respect him. The same goes for the hundreds of clients he served throughout his career with COBI.

Mark is that rare person who has creative attributes to go along with his management skills. He’s a first-rate writer and producer, and I can attest to this personally: Mark wrote and produced my program, “Up Close with Patsy Smullin,” for many years. He knows how to get top-quality product completed, always on-time and under-budget.

I would be more than happy to speak on Mark’s behalf any time. Feel free to contact me for a personal verbal reference."

“I have had the pleasure of working with Mark as a service provider and as a business partner. During my tenure on the board of directors of a large, local non-profit, Mark and his company were retained to produce a key development video. His work managing the process, strategy, team and production was very competent and professional. He was on time and on budget with a piece that then worked just exactly as planned. And why not? Mark's team has done extensive work for corporate accounts like Harry & David and PBS documentary work like the well-received special on Crater Lake. As a business partner in a content production and TV broadcast project, I have seen Mark's extensive experience and insight at work - up-close-and-personal. He's done it all, from voice to camera to production management. So he's the real deal, and will be an asset to whatever projects he may chose to pursue.”
