Past Experience:
Until recently VP Finance, (and still office’d with and providing consultive services to), Lakeshore Media, LLC., an owner/operator of radio stations, provider of engineering solutions to the broadcasting industry and investment company which buys and sells stations – Lakeshore is exiting the Radio business and actively engaged in process (to which I am key player) of selling the remainder of its station portfolio.

In addition to mission-critical services provided Lakeshore and it’s sister company Devine Racing Management, (owner/operator of running races, i.e. marathons, 1/2 marathons, 10 and 5K's), I have created successful strategies for such franchise properties as Paul Allen's (The) Sporting News Radio, Chancellor Media’s WLUP-FM and WMVP-AM (now Emmis and ESPN respectively) and (NBC)/Univision's WQBA AM/FM in Miami.

Early in my career I was named the (then) youngest Director of Planning and Administration by CBS Television, responsible for their Miami O&O - WCIX-TV 6;(now WFOR-TV).

A “big-picture” thinker who reads the fine print – I bundle good business sense and a proactive nature w/strong interpersonal skills, including people and time management and organizational skills. I move at the speed of business, (read: opportunity); adroitly inside and outside of the ‘box’. I propose to ramp-up quickly and become a value-added proposition from which to source top and bottom line and process improvements.
