Connected as Thomas Hayden (559 friends)
Introduced to 360° video in a little ski cabin in Girdwood, Alaska, Thomas Hayden brings lessons learned from five years experience specializing in 360° video production and marketing. Thomas' entire career has been focused on providing clients with an incredible experience. Starting as a river guide/expedition leader on the Colorado Plateau for the legendary Holiday Expeditions, he has taken thousands of clients down the magnificent rivers of Utah, Colorado, West Virginia, Mexico, and Alaska. He ventured into entrepreneurism in the travel industry in Denali Park, Alaska, and later brought his skills to the sales and marketing team at Alyeska Resort. It was only the opportunity to work with Google that pulled him away from ski town life. After jump starting Immersive Video Solutions in Anchorage, Alaska, Thomas was tapped to become one of the first producers for the Google Maps Street View project. With a daily shooting schedule and massive scale, Thomas became an expert at the intricacies of 360° video and helped build the foundations of a project that has now spanned the globe. Thomas was eventually brought in off the marketing department at Immersive Media and produced a variety of projects in multiple industries. Recently, Thomas has hit the blogging world with his 360° Video Blog, which has become the leading source of information regarding 360° video and all the latest advancements and players. Thomas holds a degree in Biology from the University of North Texas.
