My history of successfully building and managing brands in unique and effective ways for broadcast companies, both small and large, including CBS Radio. provides me with expertise in marketing, audience analysis, research, operations as well as talent coaching and management.

I am also the co-founder of Localtone Systems, dedicated to providing tools to enable direct listener interaction with and control of media platforms and creator of ComicTwit, a Twitter application where you can "Laugh it up in 140 characters or...or less."
Being an avid supporter of Minnesota’s internet and software technology community I continue to contribute to Minnov8.com, highlighting innovation and web technology in the land of 10,000 lakes.
