Biography/History:
Tom Reitter: Tom is passionate about helping interesting people share their stories to inform, enlighten, and entertain. With two long careers—one as a filmmaker and another in software engineering—he brings a unique perspective to storytelling. Now based in Eugene, Oregon, Tom values the enduring power of facts and the clarity of the documentary format to connect with audiences. He believes storytelling is not only a way to share ideas but also a means to build new friendships and strengthen connections. By patiently listening to uncover the core and breadth of the human experience, he collaborates with storytellers to craft messages that resonate deeply with their intended audience
Summary:
"Accomplishing the goals of the Taraia Object Expedition requires the design of a complex configuration of electronic equipment to be installed on Nikumaroro. In Series Episode 6, Rick Pettigrew and Laura Kennedy describe the purposes and the specific functions of the technology designed for use on the island. This equipment will include a solar power station, a Starlink Internet connection and devices for site security and recordation of meteorological and tidal data. This system will also allow us during our fieldwork to communicate directly with the world from a remote and uninhabited South Pacific island."-- Provided by Heritage Broadcasting Service
