Professional info
As the owner of a media consulting and production business, I have gained over twenty years of media sales and content creation experience. In addition to being well versed on the executive side of the industry, I am a media craftsman at the core. Credited for developing content for ESPN, PBS, Fox Sports and several independent Broadcast stations across the country, my programming offerings include the Sports, Music, Cooking, Personal Finance, Religious and Medical genres.
My consulting experience is just as diverse, with clientele from Municipalities, Health Care Organizations and Pro Sports Teams, along with Boutiques, Celebrities and Individuals.
An extensive knowledge of all aspects of the media development process has made me a true media problem solver.
