About Christopher Lakso

Over the past few years I have discovered the joy of teaching, and currently teach Industrial Technology in my local school district. Until I started to pursue a career in education I never imagined myself teaching at this level. Let me just say that I am so lucky to have the job I do. Teaching is a challenge, but the rewards are second to none. Being able to be a part of my students' lives is something I do not take lightly, and I have seen numerous problem students begin to make the positive changes that they need to make in order to truly succeed in life. It is not only at the secondary level that I teach though. I still teach digital graphics and paralegal & e-discovery courses at the University level, and even acted as an adviser for another school's animation program. It is such a joy to see students learn new concepts and techniques. Since 2005, I have been creating 2D & 3D graphics and animations professionally. I also developed creative strategies for legal presentations and have collaborated on more than 90 computerized trial projects. My animations have proved to be instrumental in the settlement of the Park Cattle Co. vs. Columbia Sussex, et al. case in Minden, Nevada ($168 million). My animation skills transform abstract concepts into quality presentations. Other large wins: Gray Development Group vs. N.P.P.($110 Million) Mohammad Anwar Farid Al-Saleh vs. Harry Sargeant Et Al ($28 Million) Pearl Wilson Vs. Maricpoa County Sherriff's Office,($30 Million) Noble Vs. Certex (Positive Settlement) DISH Network vs. ESPN - S.D.N.Y.($4.86 Million) Upon graduating with honors from the University of Advancing Technology, with a B.A. in Multimedia, I joined SAIC, the Fortune 500 engineering and tech company. There, I honed my skills in 3D modeling and graphics.
