CoFounder and president of American. Born in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Attended college at the Illinois Wesleyan College at Bloomington, Illinois.
Sam also served as treasurer of Mutual, American's distributor for the U.S. and Canada, president of Signal Film Company and managing director of the Vogue comedy company.
