Mark McIntire
Director of Philosophy & Digital
Services 
Blending a unique background in higher education,
performing arts, and computer expertise, Mark McIntire received
his Master’s degree in Philosophy while a seminarian at Catholic
University of America in 1967. After six years as Professor of
Philosophy, Mr. McIntire ventured to fulfill a lifelong dream
in theater. In 1977 he debuted the title role of JFK: A TIME REMEMBERED,
in San Francisco and toured the U.S. and Europe with this one-man-show
which he also wrote. He appeared in PROUD MEN and THE CAINE MUTINY
COURT MARTIAL with Charlton Heston. By 1983 his diverse roles
established him as a working actor and he was elected to the National
Screen Actors Guild Board of Directors for a three-year term.
Concurrently, he served as chairman of the Board of Directors
for Actors Working for an Actors’ Guild at the request of it’s
founder, Charlton Heston. His tough-minded and cunning leadership
in both organizations is well documented in the Hollywood press
and in: THE POLITICS OF GLAMOUR by Dr. David Prindle.
Mr. McIntire’s casual decision to master the
personal computer resulted in creating his own consulting company,
MICRO MAESTRO, INC. that now lists celebrity clients like Nicholas
Cage, Lionel Ritchie, Richard Dreyfuss, Debbie Reynolds, Jack
Nicklaus and Ann Archer. His views are sought after by media,
trade publications, professional journals and major newspapers
such as The Washington Post, Harpers, The Wall Street Journal
and PC Laptop Magazine. When he’s not tending to the digital resources
of Agamemnon Films, he’s busy writing and researching for their
upcoming projects.
A recovering procrastinator, McIntire teaches
Critical Thinking and Writing, Introduction to Logic and Ethics
for the Philosophy Department at Santa Barbara City College, lectures
at the University of Phoenix and directs philosophy seminars at
Antioch University. McIntire is author of FINANCIAL CORE RIGHTS
FOR UNION SHOP WORKERS, nationally recognized as the definitive
source on ‘financial core’ issues. Featured weekly as Computer
Expert’ on Santa Barbara’s KEYT, Channel 3 news, he appears regularly
on Television talk shows and corporate motivational seminars.
What makes Mark McIntire a trusted advisor
and leader to a discerning digital computer community is his vast
cybernetic vision combined with a skilled pedagogy.
 "This
is the integration of everything I have ever done in my life."
McIntire recently told the Los Angeles Daily News. "Studying for
the Catholic Priesthood for seven years trains your mind to think
beyond the temporary, the apparent and the insubstantial. Teaching
philosophy for many years after that developed my ability to communicate
abstractions in a totally approachable manner. Professional acting
taught me that vision is useless if it fails to capture the imagination
of a large audience. Computer technology is the new literacy.
My purpose is to make that literacy useful to those who understand
its’ power. Other than engaging in shameless self-promotion...I’d
rather be playing golf."
