With more than 50 years in the Entertainment & Event Industries, Eddie’s work and creations have won numerous awards. Along with being the 1st person inducted into the PBX “Hall Of Fame,” Eddie has multiple Emmys, Oscars, “Pick of Show” awards from NAB, Gold & Platinum Records… the list goes on. He has received numerous Certificates of Appreciation from various Cities across the US. His contributions were instrumental in getting laws changed to make it Legal to “Work From Home” (which almost every 360 Booth Operator does). In addition to 360s (both Platform & Overhead/Top Spinners, both manual and motorized) which have become the BEST “Side Hustle” EVER, he also invented the Hand Held Camera Stabilizer, the Emmy Award winning Camera Boom (crane/jib), the Emmy Award winning EZ Prompter (TelePrompTer), a credit card size MicroCam (predecessor to GoPro), and the multiple award-winning 24P (which allows video to look like film). He has also won the biggest contest in the history of MTV for Directing (1st for a Madonna MV, then for a Michael Jackson MV), $20K for a “Mannequin Challenge” (that helped raise about $400K for numerous Charities) and a Brand New Car for a Chrysler Commercial he created.
