About

From open reel demo tapes and an Underwood typewriter to today's world of radio promo downloads, Mail Chimp and Google Docs, I've been in the trenches of entertainment and events for over 40 years. Clarity of communication, highest quality musical choices in programming, efficiency of operations through meticulous planning, creative flexibility, sticking within budget limits and details, details, details are key beliefs. I understand AP style for press releases, the importance of social media in marketing and firm deadlines. I bring years behind the audio board and on mic at WRCJ, WEMU, WKSU and WBBY to bear. I bring stage presence honed by appearances at The Detroit Jazz Festival, Jazz Journalist's Association Award Celebrations, national jazz conferences, The Blossom (JVC) Jazz Festival and WNEO-WEAO Television. Mentoring new talent and a positive, humane attitude is another core value. I believe in people first - equipment and technology second. If you need someone to advise you regarding jazz and blues music or well-turned phrase, I'd enjoy working with you.
