As a lighting director and designer John's work has been seen in the music and theater communities, Late Night with David Letterman Road Show, many commercials, and independent films. As a sound engineer, he worked with the Indigo Girls and Beetle Mania. And he’s composed scores and jingles for commercials.

John has been involved with special projects such as the Novel Signs Project (books on tape for deaf children done by deaf actors and story tellers) and a training video for teachers done for Very Special Arts. He also traveled to the Soviet Union to film, produce, and direct a documentary on a cultural exchange between a Philadelphia rock band and Russia.
Meagan has been working in front of and behind the camera since she was a child.  Her first on-camera experience arose when she was chosen for a television series at age 10, and had a crew following her for a summer training and participating in equestrian competition. Eventually she decided that being part of the crew sounded like fun, too. So, after getting her B.A. at Bates College (where she got to experience working at the Tokyo Broadcasting System, living and studying acting in Japan), she went on to Emerson College for a Masters degree in Television/Film.  
 
Since then, she's been working steadily - still wearing two hats – as an on-camera/voiceover talent and stage actor, and a freelance writer and producer. Her work has been seen on TV series on The Travel Channel, HGTV, Fox, and affiliates of the three major networks.  Her stint writing and producing on the show Wild Moments, a nationally syndicated FCC qualified show for kids, allowed her both to indulge her love of all things critter,  and to compile an astonishing collection of wild animal trivia.   In addition, Meagan also has a strong connection to, and enjoys working with, non-profit organizations whose goal is to help both animals and people.  She is especially proud of her work for the MSPCA and Windrush Farm.  
As an on-camera talent, she’s worked for clients that include Fidelity Investments, Hannaford Markets, Key Bank, and PI Worldwide.  Her background on both sides of the lens makes her uniquely qualified to assist when working with casting directors and talking to/directing talent.
