Dennis Michael Lynch (born August 28, 1969) is an American businessman, documentary film maker, and political commentator.Currently, he is the founder and CEO of TV360Media, a company specializing in the production and distribution of news programming and digital films.
Lynch was raised in Hicksville, Long Island. After graduating high school, he went on to attend the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York and several other colleges, but did not graduate from any of them.
In 1991, at age 22, Lynch launched a computer recycling company called Lynx Technologies. In August 1999 Lynch secured $13 million from venture capitalists and John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple and Pepsi. In less than a year, Lynch expanded the company to 300 employees and five locations across the country, and renamed it TechSmart. As a result, in 2000 he was selected as the winner of Long Island's Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
On September 11, 2001, Lynch was in downtown Manhattan where he experienced the terror attacks firsthand. Shortly thereafter, he enrolled at the New York Film Academy. In 2006 he launched TV360 Media, a digital video production company that hires freelance film makers to produce short videos. The videos appear on websites such as AOL, ABC News, and YouTube. In early 2016, Lynch created his personal news and politics website, DennisMichaelLynch.com. The site mainly features articles from Lynch's team, as well as articles written by Lynch himself.
In 2010 Lynch produced his first full-length documentary, King of the Hamptons, about the serious consequences and mental impact of midlife crisis. The film stars Billy Joel, Christie Brinkley, Alec Baldwin, and Ed Burns. It premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival 2010.
