On Sunday, March 3rd at 9:15 – 10:15 AM, Mr. Chuck Westfall will address the Sunday Forum Series at Garden City Community Church on "The Simplicity of the Complex Working Behind the Lenses."
After earning a degree in Professional Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology and accumulating some valuable on-the-job experience during a 10-year stint in commercial photography and photo retail, Westfall began his corporate career with Canon U.S.A. in 1982 as a Technical Representative. He has steadily advanced through the ranks to achieve his present position as Technical Advisor for the company's Imaging Technology & Communications Group (ITCG). He currently works out of Canon U.S.A.'s headquarters office in Lake Success. Among his many assignments, Westfall is currently Canon USA’s main media spokesman for professional imaging products. He also provides a unique insider’s perspective to financial analysts who follow the company’s ITCG sales and marketing activities.
Chuck’s involvement with digital cameras began in 1994, when he assisted Canon and Kodak engineers in developing the EOS-DCS series of professional SLRs (single lens reflex). Since then, his responsibilities have expanded to include participation in the development and launching of many other ITCG products including Canon's professional and consumer-oriented digital cameras. Most recently, he has been conducting research for future professional imaging products in Canon USA’s Professional Engineering & Solutions Division.
On the personal side, Chuck enjoys sight-seeing, photography, reading, music and family life with his wife, Ying and their beautiful daughter, Anna.
Chuck serves as an usher and a deacon at the Garden City Community Church.
