"...Over the years it has been a pleasure to have worked with Mr. Riegel. His passion for video production and multimedia operations has made the Office of Naval Intelligence a better organization and has promoted greater service to the United States Navy and America. Our thanks to Jeff for a job well done!”

Jeff Riegel is one-man production machine. He is driven, meticulous, energetic and the core of most of my productions. I have known Jeff for over twelve years and have come to count on him when I needed someone to fill a role as an on-location director, producer and cameraman. He has the technical abilities to troubleshoot most production problems, the creativity to make a boring film plan into something dynamic, and artistic ideals with a professional bearing that makes nearly all clients / talent feel comfortable and confident in his vision and execution. As a bonus, he is an excellent video editor with a good command of motion graphics, a skill that can really enhance his video capture process.
If you need a dependable, hardworking and trustworthy video professional, seek no other than Jeff Riegel.

“I have the pleasure of knowing and working with Jeff Riegel. I met Jeff in 1998 at the Central Intelligence Agency were we worked together as Audio-Visual Specialists. It is there were I saw Jeff's initiative and enthusiasm for doing such tasks as re-wiring a/v racks and where we both self-taught ourselves on the Avid Editing system. We also provided a/v support for high level events for the Director of Central Intelligence Agency, Members of Congress, Showtime Movie Premiere "In the Company of Spies" with Tom Beringer, Ms. America "Heather Whitestone", and Hispanic Heritage month with Rita Moreno and Edward James Olmos. Jeff then moved on to the Office of Naval Intelligence. And it was there that I witnessed Jeff's creativity working on various video projects for the Director of Naval Intelligence and the Commanding Officer using the Final Cut Editing system.
When Jeff is given little resources to work with on a project, he is able to create a video production that highly exceeds the client’s expectations. I have seen Jeff literally create a video with no graphics or footage to work with, and he is able to give the client the vision they have relayed to him verbally. I highly recommend Jeff Riegel for all of your video editing projects. With Jeff you get creativity, communication and the experience needed to give you a quality video product.”

"Jeff's superior knowledge of broadcast production is unmatched. I worked with for Jeff on several jobs varying from simple duping to full taping, editing and broadcasting productions. His vast knowledge of the video field makes him the "go to" guy. He is always motivated and knows how to motivate others in the work center. If I needed a worker/leader in this field and knew that I needed someone who not only knows how to do the job but also get the job done, then Jeff would be first on my list."

"Jeff and I began our television/media careers together as Master Control Operators at WTZA-TV in 1989 (Now RNN). Jeff was not only highly competent and dependable, but everyone enjoyed working with him. As a Crew Chief in the Master Control Room he was able to motivate and coordinate his team during live television broadcasts.
WTZA was a small market TV station which was an ideal place for getting hands on experience in every facet of television. Jeff took full advantage of this learning opportunity by quickly becoming an expert at every production related post – doing live audio for news, studio camera, satellite feeds, commercial insertion etc.
Jeff has continued to be a good friend to this day. He is creative and always enthusiastic. I would highly recommend him for any Television, Multi-Media or content creation position."

“I worked with Jeff Riegel for three years. Jeff is an outstanding videographer, editor and motion graphic designer. Jeff is also a skilled web designer. He is a joy to work with... his professional knowledge is, in my opinion, second to none. A hard worker and creative, it isn’t very often you find someone in this business that is as well versed in all of these skill sets. He would be a great addition to any team or as a consultant. I recommend Jeff with all the confidence in the world.”

"Simply put, Jeff Riegel is the most knowledgeable A/V specialists that I've had the pleasure of knowing. He's my "go to" guy when I need to know the latest and greatest technology has to offer. He was a "geek" before the term become fashionable, and has graduated to guru, at the very least. As far as people go, you won't find anyone with a better bedside manner and integrity than Jeff Riegel."

“I have had the extreme pleasure of working as an Audio-Visual Technician with Jeffrey Riegel for Hospitality Resources Inc in Reston, Virginia in the mid to late nineties and at SSI Services at The Central Intelligence Agency in McLean, Virginia in 2000. I can attest to the integrity, knowledge, skills and abilities that he brings to the work environment.
The ultimate professional, Jeffrey routinely exceeds expectations and standards that are set forth by clients and supervisors alike. Furthermore, beyond his professionalism, he is a genuinely good person. Jeffrey is of the highest caliber and I highly recommend his services to any interested party.”

"Jeff is an excellent mentor and a dedicated employee. I reported to him during my internship at WTZA. Ever since then he has continued to impress me with his knowledge of current media technology. Whether he is creating video programming for a large agency or a video/photo DVD from a personal event, the effort Jeff puts forth is clearly apparent in the finished product. I would welcome the chance to work with Jeff again."

"Jeff … just want to send a quick THANKS to you. We watched our wedding video last night so that Olivia could see Sofia’s dad, since yesterday was the anniversary of his passing. We’ve been able to discuss with Olivia now how cool it is that she knows what his voice sounds like and she could see him walking around with us in the video. Really special for Sofia especially given that her dad was never able to meet Olivia or Leo. Anyways, that video meant a lot when you originally gave it to us, but it’s value just escalated yesterday in ways we hadn’t anticipated back in 2005. Thanks my friend."

I am so very glad that I get a proper forum to talk about my work past regarding Jeff Riegel. Being is such an over-saturated and competitive market, staying current and relevant can be a task within itself. Jeff has to be one of the most consistent players in the media world that I have had the pleasure to work with. His tenacity for professional production and content pursuit for higher education in this industry makes him one of my goto guys for all projects, both great and small. As long as I am able to perform in this market, I will only be successful with people like Jeff.
"Jeff did a great job on all our communications efforts, especially social media. He is easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and professional."
