Michael Silva’s Summary

I have 10 years experience in consumer goods sales and management. My passion is sports and over the last two years I have produced and hosted my own weekly radio show on New York baseball.

I have been able to create a show with a loyal listening audience. It features interviews with former New York athletes, journalist, authors, and independent bloggers. No other show is as diverse and give the "hardcore" baseball fan this type of content.

Michael Silva’s Specialties:

Managed group of employees. Responsible for setting goals, providing training, and assessing performance. I believe my career working for two major fortune 500 companies has helped me excel in the radio industry. Rather then take the traditional route, I am focused on embracing new media and introducing a New York baseball show that complements the mainstream outlets of ESPN and WFAN. This experience has allowed me to be the host as well as producer and business manager.
