25+ year background in professional, results-driven Marketing/PR, Advertising/Media and Entertainment. I've been directly involved with all facets of communications, and turn-key experience in all mediums...Radio, TV/Cable, Print, Media, Event Management, Promotions, Online, Direct-mail, Direct Response, Outdoor and Graphic Design.

My previous role was Director of Communications and Development at a full-service Ad Agency here in Orange County, where I managed campaigns for well-known brands such as Isuzu Corporation, LabCorp, PADI Americas, Noritsu, Time Warner and many others. I also developed and spearheaded the agency's first internal PR Program.

Prior to this I was with the Orange County Business Journal (1997-2002), working with both local and Fortune-500 companies to develop high-profile campaigns and event sponsorships. I also had the honor of developing and launching Orange County's first web-site directory, 'Dot.com."

I sit on the Board of Directors of a local non-profit Charity, and serve as Chairman of Public Relations & Event Planning for their annual fundraising gala, which pulls about 400 attendees and just under $100,000 in revenue.

On a personal level, in addition to leadership, enthusiasm and an unsurpassed work ethic, I strive for a level of stability and long-term commitment rarely seen in the workplace these days.
