It is with great sadness that Production Advantage, Inc. reports the untimely passing of our founder, John Taylor Camm. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, John grew up and lived most of his life in Shelburne, Vermont. In recent years, John and his wife Penny lived full-time aboard their trawler yacht, Seahorse, spending summers on Lake Champlain and sailing south to explore Trinidad and the Windward Islands in winter. Funeral services will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Shelburne on Saturday, June 27th at 11 a.m. A private burial will follow. Memorial contributions in John's name may be made to Behind the Scenes, 875 Sixth Avenue, Suite 1005, New York, NY 10001 and Broadway Cares, 165 West 46th Street, #1300, New York, NY 10036.
Production Advantage's maiden voyage took place in 1990 along the shores of Lake Champlain. There was the developing new technology of the personal computer and we thought it would make a great tool for building a new kind of business. In the basement of a private residence we fired up our first PC (a Compaq Portable, with its little 9" green screen and a whopping 128K of memory), picked up the phone and got to work. We were committed to making use of what would become known as Information Technology to find the gear you were looking for, negotiate a great price, and manage the most efficient delivery path to get the gear where you needed it.
Eighteen years later we're no longer in the basement. We no longer store the light bulbs under the bed. We're in a 14,000 square feet state-of-the-art facility designed to process your orders as efficiently and inexpensively as the technology will allow. We have computers that keep track of our computers. We're still committed to getting you what you need, when you need it, at a reasonable price, though. We continue to grow with your help and we're grateful for your support.
