Richard Reichgut
Executive Producer |
After graduating from the University of Texas
with a bachelor's degree in computer science, Mr. Reichgut immediately began
to apply his technology skills in the defense industry facilitating projects
such as General Dynamics's Electric Boat division as a systems engineer
at Harris Corporation. Following that, Reichgut entered the financial services
industry by holding various technical management positions at Quotron-which
was later purchased by CitiCorp.
Always a pulse on the future of technology, and impressed with the direction
of Sun Microsystems, Mr. Reichgut left Quotron to join the Sun team, where
he worked for the next 10 years, again holding technical management positions-this
time in engineering, sales and marketing. Additionally, Reichgut championed
the internet-wave when it was just in its infancy, and became influential
in spearheading Sun's Java development and sales venture divisions.
After more than a decade at this technology bell-weather firm, the idea
of joining a "start-up" became attractive to Reichgut; thus, he
left Sun Microsystems to join the first of two smaller firms. First, he
served as vice president of business development at Novera Software, an
application server company (now Mercator Software), and in January of 1998,
Reichgut joined New Era of Networks, Inc., where he served as a vice president
of marketing. He currently is Vice President of Marketing at AuthentiDate,
Inc.
Reichgut's involvement in the arts began at a young age. In fact, as a
teenager he was enrolled as a student in the acting program at the renowned
Circle
in the Square. In 1998, in an attempt to balance his corporate and creative
passions, Reichgut joined James Ronald Whitney as the co-executive producer
of the movie "Just, Melvin," which premiered April 22, 2001 following "The
Sopranos" on HBO. Reichgut has continued to be the executive producer
of 3 more of Whitney's films. "TheWorkingGirl.com." "Telling Nicholas" (which
premiered May 12, 2002 following "Six Feet Under" on HBO), and "GAMES
PEOPLE PLAY ," which is currently in pre-production. |
