He credits his attention to detail, ability to motivate and surrounding himself with top notch talent for the success of the studio. It is his passion for the art form that drives him.

Pierre had nineteen years of banking and brokerage experience before being recruited in 1996 by brother Claude to help assist in opening the studio.

Pierre’s main duties have been to make sure the production work flow runs smoothly and the production quotas are met. He also has payroll duties and assists in promoting the studio.

Pierre is pleased to see how much the studio has developed since 1996. This is without the help of agents but just with the “reputation” of doing exceptional work and having the wealth of talent.
