: About Me

I serve as magazine publisher/ad sales director for Dynamic Resource Group and have been with the company since 1998. In addition to publishing 15 consumer magazines, I write and publish a free eNewsletter for business people titled ADvice that goes out every three weeks.

With nearly 30 years of experience in sales and advertising, I began my career in the broadcast industry after attending Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. After several years in advertising sales, I moved to sales management and general management for radio and television operations.

Before coming to DRG, I partnered in the creation of a merchandising support company, and continued to serve in an advisory capacity after the sale of the company in 1993. I am a certified radio marketing consultant, have served as chairman of the Michigan Broadcasters Association and recently served on the board of directors for the Crochet Guild of America.

My wife, Debbie and I, have four grown children and nine grandchildren. We like to travel. I also enjoy lending assistance to public service organizations. In the past, I have been named Big Brother of the Year and have received recognition from the Bloomington chapter of the American Heart Association.

I, like others I know, probably spend too much time in the world of "should-be," a place where I can project my expectations upon the screen and make others wrong because the reality they created failed to live up to my vision...
