His understanding of the Hong Kong and Asian markets, as well as his technical skills from previous employment were factors in his employment with our firm. He has operated two branch offices of SM&W, Hong Kong and San Francisco for a total of 13 years. Besides operational duties and marketing to new and current clients, Mr. Sellars was responsible for design, engineering and implementation work in the fields of acoustics, audiovisual and telecommunications.

He has been a valuable member of our team for many years and we are sorry to see him go. From my personal standpoint, Ward represents a rich knowledge base for the firm in Multimedia technology. Through his long tenure with SM&W, he has always been loyal and dedicated. I look forward to working with him again in the near future”
