All work and no play makes Lenny a dull boy. I like watching movies, creating videos, reading and cooking. I stay active by running and playing hockey all year round. When I'm not doing that I like to shred a little on the guitar.
Knots Music VideoI worked with the band Connoisseur Casino to create and concept a music video for their song Knots. Having some prior video production experience, I concepted shot, produced and edited the music video. Editing was all done in Final Cut and Motion. It was important to make sure the video stayed true to the personality of the band, which are a great group of guys who are talented and a lot of fun to work with. |
Bear Ninja CowboyI'm sure everyone has played rock, paper scissors. Bear Ninja Cowboy is way more fun. For a level 2 flash assignment I was inspired to create a mini game that showed I was able to use actionscripting. This was a great opportunity to create a variation and showcase some simple actionscripting. |

"Lenny is one of the most creative and up-to-date professionals I have ever met. Whenever working with him he was always on top of the latest trends and providing great perspective on how to apply them to our goals. Having worked with him for more than 3 years at Best Buy, it was great to see him develop his marketing skills and come up with consistently great plans that were far above the industry's average.
He has always been a great team player with great attitude and leadership toward every group he has been involved. It was great working with him and now seeing him in a new career path. I am looking forward to the time we can work together again when new opportunities arrive."
"Through Lenny's tenure with bestbuy.ca and later futureshop.ca I came to recognize him most for his 'outside the box' approach to business and his approachable and engaging personality. These qualities proved instrumental in his many accomplishments; whether it be a tool he created to help streamline day to day business functions or the way he personified our company value, to 'have fun, while being the best', he is an absolute asset and pleasure to work with."
"Lenny is a great communicator who is always full of new ideas. We worked together on a number of projects and he always had a creative solution for any problem we encountered. I would highly recommend him for any position that requires a creative mind and critical thinking."
"Being a merchandise manager, we are responsible for the overall brick & mortar business as well the online portion. Lenny was my online manager responsible for our division's "clicks" portfolios. Great people skills and pertetually patient, even when other people seemingly weren't. Organized and the diligent manager, was always thinking about ways to push our business along. His astute business skills over time had outgrown his modest corporate title. The next business that lands Lenny's talent should consider themselves lucky to have him."
"Lenny is talented, hard working and passionate about what he does. He has good business sense and remains calm under pressure. Challenges don't frazzle him; instead they are opportunities for him to seek solutions. Over the years, he has led many successful sales and marketing events. Lenny is very personable and inspires others to do their best. He has stood out as a leader to his peers. It would be a pleasure to work with him again."
"Lenny's outstanding quality is his passion and his ability to transmit it to others. He's a great team player and has helped me numerous times with missing pieces, bouncing ideas and generally getting projects out. When in need, Lenny was there to help. An incredible asset to any team."
"Lenny is insightful & accommodating in every aspect of his business approach. He consistently looks for ways to add value and asks all of the right questions so that deals can be executed in a prompt and efficient manner. It's been a pleasure working with Lenny and I look forward to working with him on other projects in the future."
