I'm terrifically absentminded.

Mad science is my middle name.

Red is a benevolent dictatorship.

The concept of Red was to build a camera with as much capability as possible... for the professional market. Then we thought we could extend it down a bit to the prosumer level. Apparently, that was a mistake.

I figured, 'Why not put goggle characteristics like peripheral protection and face fit into sunglasses?'

I'm not Bill Gates. And I'm not Ted Turner.

There's talent on the streets, kids with ideas who have stories to tell and never get a chance.

Anyone who wears glasses can be an Oakley consumer.

What separates us from other camera companies is that the vision guy is the decision maker. That was one of my biggest advantages at Oakley, and it's the same at Red - I'm in the trenches, in the product development, and I make the final call.

I have a Bolex, Aaton, Arriflex, Eyemo, Filmo, Mitchell, Photosonic, Beaulieu, Keystone - just about every movie camera you can think of.
