Fletcher Beasley is an American composer who writes music for film, television, commercials, video games, and interactive exhibits. His first solo album, Fictional Radio, was released in 2015.
His credits include Cartoon Networks’ “”, Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”, and the Emmy Award winning mini-series “World Without End”. He has also applied his musical skills to projects such as Disney’s “Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams” and NBC’s “The Zula Patrol”, both of which received Annie nominations for his music.
As a musician, Fletcher has played in ensembles varying from jazz to classical, rock, R&B, and the avant-garde. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion, and he sings. He has worked as a composer, producer, player, synthesizer programmer, orchestrator, and arranger.
Fletcher is equally comfortable with the acoustic palette of the orchestra and the electronic textures of contemporary music. He has written for orchestras and small ensembles both electric and acoustic. The thread of continuity that unifies these disparate musical worlds is a strong sense of melody, a unique ear for texture, and a captivating sense of rhythm.
In 2002, he was awarded a grant from the American Composers Forum as a result of his work teaching music to incarcerated teenagers to create a ten-week music program at the Poseidon School in West Los Angeles. Currently, he teaches a course for UCLA Extension’s Film Scoring Program and courses in sound for film and music production at Santa Monica College and Cal State Long Beach. He has also taught at University of California, San Diego, Chapman University, and the Los Angeles Film School. He serves as a board member for the Society of Composers & Lyricists, the oldest organization for media composers in the United States.

Prophet Yahweh, or The Seer of Yahweh, (Ramon Watkins) was an American man who resided in Las Vegas, Nevada, and claimed to have the ability to summon UFOs by using passages from the Bible. He said that he developed this ability after studying the Old Testament in its original Hebrew form and acquiring knowledge related to UFOs from his personal studies.
Biography
The self-proclaimed Prophet Yahweh was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He attended Melrose High School where he was a rising star in both football and basketball. After high school he briefly attended Tuskegee Institute on a basketball scholarship before accepting a football scholarship to Southern Illinois University where he joined the ministry. Prophet Yahweh's first radio ministry occurred in 1978 on WYZE, an Atlanta, Georgia, radio station. In 1981, he began his first cable television program at Viacom. Then in 1996, he began airing a UFO cable TV show in Los Angeles, California. After claiming to have had a dream instructing him to move to Las Vegas, he relocated and, in August 1999, began a cable TV show titled, Prophet Yahweh - Ufologist. Many of his self-proclaimed teachings can now be accessed online via YouTube and his official website.
Controversy
There are those who are openly skeptical and critically detract from the claims. He was denounced as a "false prophet", as evidenced by the nonappearance of UFOs at times and places where he claimed to have summoned them.

William Herp is the President, CEO, and Co-Founder of Linear Air. He has a background in consumer marketing and used this to co-found e-Dialog, a 500 person online marketing company now owned by GSI Commerce (Nasdaq: GSIC), with clients including Dell, British Airways, Avis, and CheapTickets. He served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Geerlings & Wade. He is also a member of the board of directors of Junior Achievement of Eastern Massachusetts and holds an airline transport pilot certificate.
History
Early life and education
Born in Louisville, Kentucky,
Career
After obtaining his degree, Herp started a cell phone company that he sold to Shared Technologies Fairchild just a year and a half after creating it. Next, he became a wine wholesaler, which led to him being hired, from 1993 to 1995, as vice president and Chief Financial Officer for the wine distributor Geerlings & Wade.
After founding several businesses, Herp obtained a pilot's license in 1996, along with creating the business e-Dialog in the same year with his business partner Andy Estes. By 2003, he felt that e-Dialog could run more independently from him, giving him time to found Linear Air in Concord, Massachusetts. This resulted in his eventually selling e-Dialog to Ebay to work on his other projects.
After working on a business model with Michael Goulian, Herp obtained an FAA Part 135 Air Carrier Certification for the company and officially began his business in August of 2004. It began by using five Cessna Caravans to make air taxi flights across North America. In 2007, a Eclipse 500 was added and plans were made to obtain around 30 more very light jets over the next few years. This was done around a leasing plan for investors, where the planes would be bought by the investors and leased to Linear Air, the company giving them both a monthly payment for leasing the planes and allowing the investors to list the plane ownership as a tax benefit due to the depreciation from use.
Herp later expanded the company's connections to a number of Cirrus pilots in the northeastern United States and set up a system of short point-to-point flights for customers. In 2015, he began seeking investors for around $2 million in order to expand the point-to-point system with 1000 other pilots. The ultimate plan is to make a nationwide charter plane service titled the Linear Connect Digital Marketplace that would allow point-to-point flights to be booked anywhere in the United States.
Accolades
Herp won the 2016 Internet Advertising Competition Award for Outstanding Achievement in Internet Advertising as a part of the Internet Advertising Competition for his company Linear Air.
Personal life
Herp performs each summer with the touring show, Herpapalooza, along with his brothers, Cooper and Eli, and their respective grunge, classical, reggae bands. He is married to his wife Carolyn and has two daughters.<ref name="BJT"/>
