The Meddin Team

 

 

Nick Gant - Creative Director
Principal

Son of a funeral director and professional clown and soon to be judge in a small town in Indiana. Born mid to late 70‘s, graduated high school in the 90’s and stayed home to attend a local university as the mascot. Wore the suit for two years and then put on the uniform for the government for about 4 years. Left the north, headed to the south to attend art college where I kept the high and tight for three more years to help pay for school.

I finally graduated from college 10 years to the day without the doctorate and tracked my way into a manufacturing job. Played in that arena for about 5 years, took an early retirement to chase a dream. I have a better half and two fantastic offsprings and five four legged children.

 

Jon Foster - Technical Director
Principal

Probably the smartest guy you will ever meet and the most talented on the turn tables. Jon Doe, AKA Jon Foster grew up in tobacco country and attended college with the wildcats. Jon did everything but anchor the news for a local affiliate before he helped build the Niche empire. Jon took a sabbatical running a rental program and selling gear to guys like me and my friends before returning to Niche to bring Meddin to life.

Jon still plays with Niche during the day and Meddin when no one is watching. Jon has two beautiful women in his life and two amazing little men.

 

Jason Osterday - Camera and Audio Department / Post Production Director
Business Partner / Supporting Founder

Born and raised in the great mid-western state of Ohio, Jason is a direct connection to the famed "6 degrees of Dayton" (in which everyone you know can unsuspectingly be traced to that fantastic city of the Buckeye nation). He enjoys long infomercials, sitting in suburbian traffic, and can fix one mean, tall glass of rootbeer float.

Jason eventually left the north to Alpharetta, Georgia where he began work with his cousin on a company called Mirror Image Pictures, constructing local and regional commercials, music videos and corporate productions out of both Cincinnatti and Atlanta. The group grew into a small scale rental business which was introduced locally to Andrew Riggs and ultimately Nick Gant at Gulfstream Aerospace down in Savannah.

 


Andrew Riggs - Grip and Electric Department / Production Director
Business Partner / Supporting Founder

Hailing from Atlanta, Andrew Riggs moved to the Savannah area after studies at Georgia State to complete his education at SCAD.  He found a natural draw towards the technical aspects of grip and electric equipment and rigging and began working professionally in the Savannah area in 2008.

Riggs met Gant and Foster while creating Gulfstream Aerospace’s video asset database and that friendship transitioned to Meddin Studios from conception.
