Focus Tells the Story.

Your search may have brought you here to see how TheSteveBayes’ website might help you with non-linear editing. Suffice to say I was part of amazing teams that did great work over my almost 30 year career building creative tools for the modern age of video. I am jealous of the kids today and the opportunities they have compared to when I was in school. My career would have gone in a different direction, but first we needed to build these tools. So we did. We were central to creating a new form of communication, rolling it out to the world and making it actually work.

I am still connected to my friends and colleagues at Apple and around the world, but have since restored a sense of balance to my life. I swim, hike, dine with friends, fund media creation startups and travel to fascinating places. Instead of being jet lagged in a fluorescent lit meeting room squinting at charts, I am taking photos and traveling light. My last big trip was 30 days in France with only carry on and my beautiful wife. I’m planning my next trip now.

Please take a moment to check out a country or two on this site. You won’t find pictures of the Eiffel Tower or the Golden Gate Bridge, but you might get a little lost on purpose and dream of exploring on your own.
