With degrees in both engineering and broadcast technology, Mark Ott has immersed himself in emerging technologies since his early teenage years. Beginning his professional career in television production as both an editor and camera operator on The Jerry Springer Show in his native Ohio, Mark’s richly diverse production skills continued to evolve as he moved into television news. While working as a producer/director for the ABC affiliate in Dayton, Ohio, Mark developed an interest in editing and added online and offline editing to his list of production skills.  Mark next enjoyed a three-year stint as an online editor at Barrett Productions in Missoula, Montana where he edited programs for airing on ESPN, ESPN2, TNN and PBS.

Mark’s return to Las Vegas, was prompted by a job offer from Encore Productions. Serving as both an online and offline editor at Encore, Mark’s client list expanded globally to include television editing for Premiere Network in Germany and Sky Sports in the UK, among others. Mark eventually moved on to Century Productions where his client base as an online and offline editor continued to grow with clients from all over the world and editing everything from commercial and corporate to narrative projects with a wide range of budget levels. His clients included Taco Bell, Pepsi, Ford, Microsoft, ABC, MTV, VH-1 and Showtime. As Mark developed relationships with these clients, many of them urged him to go out of his own as an editor and encouraged him by offering their business if he did.

Mark has started and operated a number of successful businesses since 2002:  The Ott Group, Las Vegas Legal Video, 702 Productions, and now 808 Post & Production.

Mark is an active pilot with Commercial, Instrument, Single-engine and Land ratings. When not working, you can find him with his family, or hanging out at the airport talking airplanes with friends. Mark is also very active as a volunteer Search-and-Rescue Pilot with the Civil Air Patrol, and a volunteer pilot for Young Eagles.

Mark’s hometown in Ohio recently honored him with his induction into The Hamilton Fine Arts Hall of Fame for his outstanding contributions to the arts.
