Tell us about yourself
My communications career began at age 4 with my first public presentation at a Christmas cantata. I have been performing, entertaining, and educating the public for over half a century. My motivation is my understanding of the critical need for excellent communication skills. Those skills begin with honing our skills in laser listening.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Building, owning, and operating radio stations from ground zero. Serving the community for well over 60 years and continuing to be in the communications business here in my eighth decade!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The ability to continually focus on your product! Removing the continual white noise and hundreds of daily distractions.

- Make sure you’re totally committed and that you have chosen a career field that you love from the bottom of your heart.
- If you are married, make sure your partner has the exact same commitment.
- Be well capitalized.
