| GOAL |
My ultimate goal is to be a Chief Visual Officer at PlayStation, XBOX, Industrial Light & Magic, WB Games, Take Two Interactive, Nintendo, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts, "The Polar Express 2", "Fantasia", the new "Harry Potter" TV show, "Snoopy", or film game convergence for Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan, or James Cameron. A position like that should pay approximately 600k-800k in base, with 1 to 2 million in bonus, and 3 to 7 million in awarded annual stock (10 to 15 million per year ).... or.... alternatively, I would set up an animation/ video game consultancy, even from Columbus, Ohio, called 'Bulls and Bears' (based on my love of following the 'New York Stock Exchange' on CNBC, as well as Chicago sports) where I am awarded the following aspects in the video game pipeline: concept illustration, private equity strategies, finance and business guidance, character technical construction, engineering pipeline/ rigging, and environments for select titles from these companies to complete. Eventually, I would like to sit on the Board of Directors of one of the following companies part time: The Walt Disney Company, Sony, Nike, Meta, or Microsoft. |

|
| FORMULA |
THE FORMULA USED TO DERIVE THE POTENTIAL EARNINGS OF 10 MILLION PER YEAR FOR CHIEF VISUAL OFFICER. CHIEF VISUAL OFFICER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOUR AREAS OF GAME DEVELOPMENT: |
| |
|
| 1) |
ENGINEERING: I AUTHORED RIGGING TECHNOLOGY AT THE LEVEL OF ILM VALUED AT 20 MILLION BY THE HOTH SUPERVISOR AFFILIATE ON 'STAR WARS THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK'- CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE BIGGEST FILM IN POP CULTURE HISTORY |
| |
|
| 2) |
CREATIVE/ ART/ ILLUSTRATION DIRECTION: I CREATED CONCEPT ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS FOR VIDEO GAMES AT THE LEVEL OF GENSLER AND NBBJ MARKETED ON APPAREL THAT THE PR FIRM OF GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, DISNEY, AMAZON, AND MCDONALD'S' PROJECTED AT 6 MILLION PER YEAR, OR 18 MILLION OVER 3 YEARS |
| |
|
| 3) |
FINANCE AND BUSINESS: I SET UP A PERSONAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY WITH MY BANKING ADVISOR THAT IS GROWING THE ESTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 PERCENT EACH YEAR. THIS STRATEGY ALONG WITH THE PASSIVE INCOME CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF 'FORBES' AND I WAS ASKED TO WRITE A BOOK FOR 'FORBES PUBLISHING'. WHEN MY FINANCIAL STRATEGIES WERE POSTED, I WAS APPROACHED FOR AN EXECUTIVE MBA BY STANFORD, BROWN, NORTHWESTERN, AND OXFORD. |
| |
|
| 4) |
PRODUCT PLACEMENT/ MARKETING: AT PART TIME (5 TO 10 HOURS A WEEK), I CO DESIGNED A PRODUCT STRATEGY THAT OUT PENETRATED FACEBOOK LLC PRE SERIES A (ACCORDING TO THE FILM 'SOCIAL NETWORK') WHERE 250 UNIVERSITIES RECEIVED DONATED LICENSED TECHNOLOGY ON A FREEMIUM MODEL ON 6 CONTINENTS. THE PRODUCT DONATION TO SCHOOLS WAS FOLLOWED UP BY VOLUNTEER LECTURING. THIS WAS TO DESIGN A STUDENT OUTREACH THAT WOULD VOLUNTARILY ASSIST STUDENTS WITH THEIR CLASS WORK AND DEMO REELS. A CHARITABLE DONATION. |
| |
|
| |
OVER A PERIOD OF 3 YEARS, 20 MILLION WORTH OF SOFTWARE PLUS 18 MILLION WORTH OF CONCEPT DRAWINGS EQUALS 38 MILLION TOTAL. 38 MILLION DIVIDED BY 3 YEARS EQUALS 12.5 MILLION PER YEAR, OR TO BE CONSERVATIVE (1/4 OF THE EARNINGS OF MR. ANDREW WILSON- THE CEO OF ELECTRONIC ARTS- WHO EARNED 40 MILLION IN 2021: WHICH I AM ROUNDING DOWN TO 10 MILLION FROM THE 12.5 MILLION). IN OTHER WORDS- 600K TO 800K BASE, PLUS 1 TO 2 MILLION IN BONUS, AND 3 TO 7 MILLION IN STOCK ANNUALLY. |

|
| EXAMPLE |
In an applicable example, Take Two Interactive’s Rockstar Games division on “Grand Theft Auto” would be getting a person as a chief visual officer that would deliver an Industrial Light & Magic rigging animation system for the characters, with the top architectural design firms in the world (Gensler and NBBJ) designing the architectural buildings in the game. I am estimating that person, in this case me, has a value to Take Two Interactive of the 10 million in potential earnings based on an ability to deliver these assets as promised. It has been noted, that on November of 2026, when “Grand Theft Auto 6” is rumored to ship to market, early projections are guesstimating 1 billion dollars worth of sales in the first week alone. The 10 million in salary, stock, and bonus, should be easily afforded. |

| ABOUT PASSIVE INCOME |
Both ventures are the equivalent in regards to effort and maintenance of two self standing parking lots; but instead of parking your car for an extended time with little to no maintenance, they are selling product to the marketplace at the level, artistically and engineering wise, of former employers (including Lucasfilm, Disney, Sony Pictures, EA Sports, DreamWorks, Take Two, as well as illustrations of architecture that could be used as game concepts by Gensler and NBBJ). Point being though, one of the parking lots (BZP PRO) was advised by 'Empire Strikes Back' affiliates to not sell below 20 million in acquisition, and the other parking lot (Sketches of Brent Zorich) was projected by the firm representing Google, Facebook, Disney, and Amazon at the potential of 6 million per year with "GQ" and "Vogue" magazine interest. The business strategy is similar to what Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw did in the movie “The Blind Side.” In the movie, that couple set up a multiple amount of Taco Bell restaurants that had their own management team. Since they were not ‘hands on’, they were investors collecting profits from this passive income. Neither one of those two had the desire to be restaurant owners that partake in daily operations; they simply cash in on the royalties and earnings of these self standing entities. This not only frees them up to do the types of projects they want to actually work on with little involvement in the fast food cash cows (in my case as a CVO), but also provides multiple income streams at little to no billable effort. I hope to build more passive income in the future. |

| BIOGRAPHY |
I was born on December 6th, 1974 in Columbus, Ohio. If you believe in astrology, I am a Sagittarius (Greek Astrology) Tiger (Chinese Astrology). Other famous Sagittarius Tigers in the arts, design, and engineering, include Ludwig van Beethoven. My dad, Joseph A. Zorich, was an MBA and Microbiologist from Ohio State who ran the Ohio Department of Health and worked on the Governor's Emergency Medical Task Force; and my mom, Jane "Cookie" Zorich, was a blood lab technician who became a preschool teacher once I was four years old. I am 1/4 Volpe (Sicilian), 1/4 Zorich (Polish), and 1/2 Sotak (Czechoslovakian). My grandmother, Janet Volpe Zorich, was famous in the Ohio Valley for being an authentic italian chef: with her meatballs and city chicken being my favorite, as well as even rumored to cook dinner for Dean Martin one time who was from Steubenville. On my mother's Czechoslovakian side, my grandfather, Gaze Sotak, was in eight major battles in The Pacific as a First Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps in World War II. In one of the battles, he and a few of his men were stranded for approximartely fifteen days and left for dead until discovered by United States military patrol. My Czechoslovakian grandmother's lineage on my mother's side, The Fescos, were architects in old country in Prague. On my father's Polish quarter, my grandfather, Stanley Zorich, was a World War II veteran in the army and an avid baseball fan (with The New York Yankees being his favorite team and Derek Jeter being his favorite player). Growing up he always stocked my collections with the latest baseball cards. Due to Stanley living during The Great Depression, it was he that taught the family about being conservative with money, investing, and money management. That study of physiology and biomechanics assists my animation character work. I look forward to making continual amazing artistic, engineering, technical direction, and executive work in the field of video game development and computer animation. |

| EXERCISE AND RECREATION |
For fun, I enjoy going to four star steakhouse bars to watch ESPN (although I rarely drink alcohol); lecturing at universities around the country on the topic of video game and visual effects development; and at Starbucks, daily, sketching Frank Gehry influenced deconstructive buildings on my iPad Pro 2 (with APPLE Pencil), using the ADOBE Design Ecosystem software. I am a fan of Ohio State Football, pull for the The Chicago Bears in the NFC, the AFC North (Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals) in the AFC, and affiliations of Michael Jordan. Freshman year at The Ohio State University I was a walk on hopeful for The Ohio State Football team but failed to make the squad due to having bronchitis during tryouts. I was so sick in fact that I missed the first day of "hell week" initiation in my fraternity the following week. It was common in the dorms at Ohio State in Morrill Tower that I and my suite mates would have video game tournaments that the dorm would be involved; including the freshman football players. Popular titles that were played in these tournaments were 'Bill Walsh College Football', 'Madden NFL', 'NHL', and 'FIFA' by EA Sports, as well as 'Mortal Kombat' by Midway Games all on the Sega Genesis. Later in college I played 'Doom' quite frequently by ID Software on the Sony Playstation. For a year in college I switched my major from Industrial Design to Pre Allied Medicine, later to switch back, because at the time, I wanted to be a strength coach in the NFL. In my twenties and early thirties my exercise performance stats were as follows: 365 bench press; 300 close grip bench press; 315 incline press; 1000 pound leg press; 500 pound squat; 405 set of 20 on shrug; set of 5 with 225 on lunges; set of 10 with 100 pounds on weighted dips; hammer curls set of 8 with 85 pound dumbbells in each arm; 60 pound Arnold press set of 8; speed was approximately a 4.9 40 yard dash hand time. When I worked as an architectural designer at Gensler in Atlanta, Georgia, I would train at World Gym Marietta; which was the training site according to their staff of my favorite wrestler: Bill Goldberg. During my undergrad stay at Ohio State, my roommates were both members of the Ohio State Varsity Football and Varsity Basketball team at the same time. Throughout school I trained football players in the weight room; that study of physiology and biomechanics is directly applicable to the character motions I designed for both film and game characters. I also put several female friends through my workouts as well. The female athlete whose physique and look that I most admire is World Cup Professional Soccer player and Nike sponsored athlete Ana Maria Markovic. In college I practiced Jeet Kune Do: the martial art of Bruce Lee. To maintain health at my current age, for diet I usually have a multigrain Dave's Organic Bagel with an avocado for breakfast; an organic FACTOR low fat microwave meal with 10 blackberries and 10 to 15 blueberries for lunch; and I usually eat a sensible dinner but have dinner cheat meals throughout the week. My drink of choice at restaurants is unsweetened iced tea. For exercise I usually walk two to three miles four to five times a week, do up to 300 crunches, and lastly do pushups, squats, and calf raises. My favorite movies are Spider-Man 2, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (that is my favorite movie actually seeing it over thirty times in the theater), The Fantasia Series, and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. My favorite video games are Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Battlefront II, all by Electronic Arts for the XBOX; Spider-Man, and God of War for the PlayStation 4; and The Batman Arkham Series by Warner Bros Interactive. My favorite television shows are ESPN College Gameday, Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, Inside the NBA, multiple shows throughout the day on CNBC, NFL on Fox, The Apprentice, Shark Tank, The Sopranos, Star Wars The Clone Wars, and Tim Burton's Wednesday. My fashion of choice are Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic, Hugo Boss, and Air Jordan. |

| LEGAL |
If a legal question ever came up in regards to the legitimacy of this website, I would be willing to take a polygraph in court to prove its merit. I work very hard and would be incredibly upset if people did not give credit for things that I had done in a work environment; and of course, in doing the legal test, I would need to be compensated quite considerably and expect those falsely accusing to be terminated from employment. False statements could potentially affect a valuation from an investor who is wanting to put money into a venture that was designed from a skill set acquired in this production experience. |
