A Little Bit About Myself

Let's get to know each other.  For this posting, however, I'm afraid that it's going to be a little one sided.  

I really don't like to talk about myself.  Some of the hardest things that I've ever had to write are cover letters and resumes.  That brings me to this entry.  I have a job, albeit a temporary one, but I would like to have something permanent.  

My background is primarily communications and customer service.  I spent nearly 20 years in broadcasting doing everything except for management and sales.  Radio was always something that I wanted to do.  My first inkling as thinking that it could be a way to make a living came to me in the 4th grade.  A popular TV show "back in the day" was "WKRP in Cincinnati."  I marveled at Dr. Johnny Fever, and thought that he had the coolest job on the world.  This guy played records and talked into a microphone!  I was hooked.  

I began reading anything that I could get my hands on about broadcasting.  It also helped that the college in my hometown had an excellent school of communication, and I began to hitch my star to the goal of being on the radio.  

Broadcasting is a fickle business.  I came in at the time when the the trend started to become that people didn't matter and where automation and profits became more important.  It was a fun ride, but corporate radio got the best of me.  After leaving that area (not by choice) I began to study for the tests to become a financial advisor.  It didn't work out because I didn't want to cost my friends and family a lot of money if an investment when bad.

Then I went into sales.  It was fun, but cut throat.  By the time I left that job, I had regular visions of "Glengarry Glen Ross," and it wasn't pretty.

That brings me to the present.  I have a job.  It's fine, but as I said, temporary.  If a permanent position opens up where I work now, I would consider it.  However, I would love to get back to doing something creative.  Something that fulfills me.  Something that I can be happy doing.

I like to write and create.  Audio production is one of the areas that I felt that I excelled with in radio, and I still do it as a hobby.  Here is a sample of some of my recent work.

So, if you are looking for someone or know someone who is creative, dynamic, hard working, humorous, and dedicated, please free free to contact me.  Click here, if you would like and in-depth look at my skills and abilities.

Thanks for reading this, and for any help that you could provide.
