WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Many have wondered how I came up with the name Mirusmedia. I like reading the dictionary and have since my parents bought a set of World Book Encyclopedias when we were kids in the 1960s. Many years later in 1988, while working at Financial News Network in Los Angeles, I discovered latin for "miracle" was "mirus". I loved the optimism of the name. Thus, Mirusmedia is 26 years old. Like a great ship facing the mighty seas and sometimes uncharted territory, the company have weathered the elements and endured.

"I have a natural curiosity about life and that excitement translates through all of the projects I work on. From my experience, people and events vary, but there is a common thread that transcends time, all races, cultures and religions. That thread is the wonder of humanity, which is fascinating to me."
