Greg is responsible
for one of the largest satellite uplink truck fleets in the
nation and brings more than a decade of engineering and supervisory
experience to the company.
“Encompass has the people and expertise
to be a market leader as the industry evolves with new technology,”
says Greg Jennings. “When our boots hit the ground, we
want to provide the best possible service for our clients
as well as find reliable and cost-effective ways of doing
business, that’s why I’m here.”
Jennings has been a part of numerous domestic
and international news, sports and political events with the
highest level of worldwide viewership. Prior to joining Encompass,
he was an independent contractor working in various roles
from broadcast engineer to technical/production manager.
Jennings’ clients included ABC, ESPNU and Department
of Homeland Security. He has also worked for Applied Marine
Technology, Inc. as Operations Manager and Sabil Uplink Communications
as Technical Manager/Satellite Uplink Operator. In addition,
Jennings was Operations Manager/Chief Photographer for Skyways
Communications and Satellite Uplink Operator for New England
Cable News among other notable news stations.
“Greg is a top performer in the field
and has worked in many avenues of the business,” says
Jim Schuster, Executive Vice President of Encompass. “His
extensive technical knowledge paired with years of leadership
and logistics planning and management, make him a great fit
to head our Transportables and Production Services.”
The Democratic National Convention in 2008
was a career highlight and one of the largest remotes that
Jennings worked on with ABC. For this event, he was a technical
manager providing production and engineering support. Jennings
worked closely with the major broadcaster to execute and enhance
services, essentially building out a mini-Teleport over a
three to four month period for 500 support people.
As a result, ABC was able to broadcast DNC coverage live out
of Denver for 10 days. In addition, Jennings has been involved
with engineering, production and field operations for “Good
Morning America,” “World News Tonight,” “Hard
Ball with Chris Matthews,” “The Today Show”
and DHS’ “TOPOFF” program for ready awareness.
