TOM HOCH, JR.
Working in video and multimedia from a very young age, Tom has been involved in a wide range of productions from corporate shoots to live sporting event coverage and everything in between. Being on set and in Dad’s home office gave Tom a full range of experience in the media production world. While working on his degree from the Metro State Tech Comm department, he was working a wide range of projects including the first US Extreme Skiing Championships, the first few Denver Grand Prix events, and working with the University of Colorado Media and Telecommunications department.
In Charlotte, NC in 1992, he worked as a producer for a series of saltwater fishing and bass fishing shows for PRIME Network. While there, he teamed up with Sunbelt Video (now NASCAR Images) producing corporate motorsports videos for NASCAR drivers and clients. During that same stretch, Tom reconnected with Hoch Sr. and jumped on the production team for his hit PRIME Network shows This Week in NASCAR, Trackside with Eli Gold, and other racing content.
For the next several years, it was 42 weeks on the road following the races, shooting and producing extreme skiing events in the winter months. Tom has always had a love for all music and together with a group of electronic music producer friends and local Denver DJs, he formed milehighhouse productions in 1999. This collective group of creatives threw legendary parties and events in Denver and beyond. Together they released 35 records, played gigs all over the world, and built up a strong reputation as some of the best in the West if not the world.
In 2003, Tom connected with his friends at the creative agency, Factory Design Labs, who were about to launch an ‘iTunes for DJs’, known as Beatport.com. Tom came in as one of the first 5 staffers working for the next 6 years to help build this powerful brand and resource for electronic musicians worldwide riding the wave of one of Denver’s fastest growing companies at the time from 0 to $50MM in revenue.
After the Beatport road ended in late 2009, Tom moved back into the world of video and media production relaunching milehighhouse as a media production company serving a wide range of ad agencies and corporate clients, working closely with several collaborative entities based within the co-working space Battery621 in Denver. During the same time, he worked with the team at FaderPro.com to relaunch and scale this exciting online education for music platform.
In January of 2018, Tom joined forces with The Public Works as the head of production for the media team and greatly increasing their moving picture content output focusing on television show development, creative agency support services, high level corporate messaging, branding, and fun. Tom is married to Robin Hoch of the Wendy Woo band and has two young boys Thomas and Charlie.
