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.
