Flynn has worked intermittently as a freelance videographer and amateur filmmaker since buying his first prosumer Hi-8 camcorder in 1990. He went on to Video Production Training at Northern Virginia Cable Access TV Station and started PCvideomaker.com in 1999 because there were so few resources on videography, especially videography on a computer. Later he merged into Multimedian.com.
