About John Porterfield
Over the past 25 years, John has worked in various capacities from sales, IT, onto corporate strategic relations. He served 6 years with Harvest Christian Fellowship as a webcast producer and tech engineer supporting their national and global events. John now freelances as a live and event webcast producer supporting houses of worship, non-profits, and companies for their streaming production needs. John also works to help evangelize new technologies and innovation as part of the online streaming community.
My effort with churches is on:
· help or advisory on production solutions for webcasting, this includes software / hardware.
· Production support as a hired webcast producer for live, events, other.
· Full outsource - this is where someone will want to have a production team manage all aspects of an activity, or me where i am managing with another group. I can provide examples here: VBS , Harvest Greg Laurie, Kindred Church, others)
