Gerard Durling: Founder of Coal Creative and President of Independent Wrestling TV
At a very young age, with his background in web development, Photoshop and Illustrator, Gerard had the idea to create a business right here in NEPA where he could work with a creative and collaborative group of individuals – that’s when Coal Creative was born. As the Founder of Coal Creative, Gerard’s vision was to take on responsibilities that allowed him to work collectively with friends and other like-minded creative professionals. Coal Creative was formed on the idea that we as a team could create big city results no matter our location. Aside from the success of Coal Creative, Gerard also launched a second business called Independent Wrestling TV (IWTV), a subscription video on demand network, bringing viewers the best independent wrestling content. This subscription service allows individuals to support their favorite indie wrestlers while watching live events and viewers are given access to over 4,500 hours of wrestling content. Gerard is on the road several hours a week to ensure the success of IWTV and this service grows more popular by the week. Gerard is also always ready to lend a hand in helping promote local non-profits in NEPA, which in turn raises awareness of the many valuable services which are available to those less privileged in our community.
