Jason Plunkett, Director of Operations
As Director of Operations Jason supervises all facets of Crescendo! Studios. Originally from Indiana, Jason started as an intern at Crescendo! Studios and former sister studio Russian Hill Recording in 1999, after graduating from Full Sail University in Orlando. Jason has steadily worked his way up, from receptionist to scheduler/producer and Studio Manager before becoming Director in 2006. Jason has a passionate, hands-on approach to his work. It was those very qualities that led Plunkett to become Vice President of the Northern California Production Council in 2010 and President of that group starting in January 2011. Through his involvement with NCPC, Plunkett hopes to bring more business to the Bay Area production and post production community, as well as making Northern California a better, more creative place to work.
