Hello, I'm Terry Simmons, a technician here in the Media Distribution department at Cal Poly Pomona (actually California State Polytechnic University, Pomona). Media Distribution (in the old days it was just plain Audio Visual) is responsible for providing audiovisual, computing and technical support for the entire campus community. My job is to oversee all technical aspects of the Media Distribution operation, supervise the staff of delivery student assistants, solve classroom technical issues and assist faculty in providing a quality education here at Cal Poly. This web page is designed to give a little of my background. If you have any questions, please contact me.

I was very proud to be named by the Cal Poly Staff Council as one of the Outstanding Staff Members for 2002. This is a great honor and I promise that I will do my best to maintain the standards associated with this award.

I was born in Riverside California, back near the middle of last century.
 
I have a degree in Communications, with a television production specialty, from Cal State, Fullerton.
 
  Before coming to Cal Poly, I was......  
 
an airline pilot for United Express/WestAir Airlines.  
 
a flight instructor for AFI (a great place to learn to fly) at Fullerton, CA airport.  
 
an avionics technician at Fullerton airport.  
 
a concert sound engineer, audiovisual and video technician, operations manager and stuff like that for McCune Sound.  
 
a Disneyland "host" (yes, my University of Disneyland training still stays with me, "you're not an employee, you're a host to our guests") while going to college.  
  Things I like to do when I'm not working include......  
 
building Halloween props. I'm really hooked on Halloween, creating electro/pneumatic/mechanical devices, designing circuits and just having fun. And yes, I will answer to the name "Scary Terry".
 
mountain bicycling. It's my way to attempt to stay in shape and I really enjoy riding and exploring in the wilderness. In 1986, I bicycled across the US.
 
 
camping. We try to go camping once a month and have done so for the last eight years. It's the best family experience imaginable!
 
woodworking. Halloween is my #1 hobby, but I still enjoy an occasional woodworking project.
