Answering Questions About DHHMC
Today I came across some unfortunate news from New Hampshire: Eric Eliason, of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Mortgage Consultants (DHHMC), was arrested and accused of fraudulent mortgage practices.
This came as a surprise to me, as I am sure it does for many members of the Deaf community in New England. I know this is a very difficult time for everyone who is involved.
As people’s curiosity about the matter has grown, however, questions arose when folks visited DHHMC’s web page and found my face on the welcome video.
For those who were wondering, I wanted to take a moment and clarify by saying that I am simply a performing artist and do not work for DHHMC or endorse its services. I was independently contracted over a year ago to make the videos and am not part of the business.
I know this is a tough time for everyone involved in the matter and hope that this addresses any concerns others may have.

Also – I am testing out a new way to display video using HTML5 as a non-Flash alternative (ogg/mp4) … if you have trouble viewing the video, let us know and let me know which browser you are using. -Thanks!

I’m THRILLED that you’re using HTML5! I can finally view this on my work computer using Firefox. My work prohibits the use of Flash. I’m also delighted that I can view the video on my iPhone in its Safari browser. I wish to see more websites to use HTML5.
Oh – about the story on Eric Eliason, its unfortunate for those involved and hope for a speedy process for everyone.

It’s unfortunate this has to happen. I feel for you and others involved in production of the Website. Authorities charged with handling this case should take down the Website to prevent misunderstandings not to mention misconceptions compounding.
