For more than 35 years, Rich “Trigger” Bontrager has worked where communication matters most—in front of audiences, behind microphones, through cameras, and alongside leaders whose messages need to connect.
Today, that experience comes together through Lead Through The Lens™—helping leaders communicate with greater authenticity, authority, and human connection.
ONE CAREER.
THREE WAYS TO PUT IT TO WORK
Leadership communication isn't confined to a stage, studio, or boardroom. These three areas bring my experience together.

THE WORK IN ACTION
Different rooms. Different audiences. Different cameras.
The responsibility remains the same: create a message people
can understand, feel, and trust.
BEHIND THE LENS / CURRENT PRODUCTION
GREAT MEDIA STARTS BEFORE THE CAMERA TURNS ON.
The strongest shows begin with more than equipment. They begin with a clear voice, a compelling idea, the right format, and an understanding of the audience.
As an Executive Producer, Trigger brings his broadcasting and leadership communication experience behind the lens—helping develop the concept, talent, guests, production, and finished media.
