Paul
Lombardi
Paul is the son of Joe Lombardi, who began his career in the motion picture industry in 1947, working
for RKO and Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's Desilu Studios.
A pioneer in his field, Joe was responsible
for the FX in numerous television and cinematic classics, including "I Love Lucy", "Gomer Pyle", "I
Spy", "The Godfather I&II" and "Apocalypse Now". He received a Lifetime Achievement
Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1997, shortly before his death later that year.
Paul
was raised working in the film industry, and has divided his career between special effects and general contracting custom
homes in northern California. He has built his family business into the largest physical special effects company in
Hollywood,
Full Scale Effects, and has coordinated features such as "Clear and Present Danger", "Courage Under Fire", "We Were
Soldiers", "The Last Samurai", and "Underdog", and television shows such as "24", "X-Files",
and "CSI Miami". Paul is the owner of Full Scale, and CEO of Riverwood Studios. His motion picture resume
can be viewed in the
International Movie Data Base.
Scott Tigchelaar
Scott Tigchelaar is
a native of Toronto, Canada, and has divided his post graduate career between the motion picture industry,
and banking / finance. Scott spent 6 years as vice president of sales and marketing for Canada's largest independent
leasing company, and is currently the president of
Riverwood Studios.
Both Paul and Scott's career experiences bring special qualifications to the Historic Senoia Project,
offering practical and creative skill sets well suited to this unique development. However, unlike typical
developers, we're not simply building a place for others to live and work, Senoia will be our home too.
We look forward to seeing you around town.
