Experience

Experience

Without commitment, experience means almost nothing.

 

My work is about creating certitude, about nurturing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between myself and my clients… and anyone who hears my voice. It’s about loyalty and trust.

With that said, here are a few of the roles in which I’ve served over the past forty-plus years:

Award-winning writer, producer, and director of commercials, infomercials, corporate videos, training films and live stage presentations.
Account manager for eighteen years at an ad agency
On-camera spokesperson and live presenter
Motion picture and stage actor in principal roles
Television news reporter and anchor, and talk show host
Drive time host for a Billboard Reporter radio station
