Smithy Sipes
Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
My Roles at GoConvergence: Director, Producer
Passion/Interests: Classic movies, filmmaking, a DIY home project, Gummy Bears or high sugar sweets and anything that allows me to have a creative outlet.
Favorite Things: My dog, the woman I love, a good vacation and the pleasant surprise of free sample days at the grocery when I'm hungry.
Experiences: Raised in the small town of Jackson, Tennessee. Attended Union University in 1994 and graduated with two degrees in Advertising and Marketing. Started my career at Davidson & Chandler Advertising Agency. Wasn't long before I left home in search of bigger and better things...a journey that brought me to Orlando, Florida and a position with Yellow Shoes, the internal ad agency for the Walt Disney World® Resort. Years later, decided to go for broke and leave the corporate world to pursue my dreams in the world of film. Worked my way up through the ranks to now carry the title of Director and Producer. Worked with an impressive list of celebrity talent on projects ranging from commercials and music videos to independent films and nationally-televised prime time events like the Billboard Music Awards. From the singing talent of Marie Osmond, N'SYNC, Britney Spears, Sting, and Faith Hill and the big screen talent of Matthew McConaughey, Seymour Cassel and Michael Rooker to the athletic talent of George Foreman, Martina Navratilova, and Venus and Serena Williams-you name the star and I'm two degrees closer than even Kevin Bacon!
