I honed my skills on journalism. I broke stories in Santa Barbara (working for KTYD), Dallas Texas, San Diego and elsewhere. I interviewed Governor Ronald Reagan of California when his guards initially stopped me from approaching him. I have verve, and nerve. I have also interviewed people like NBA Commissioner David Stern, baseball superstar Reggie Jackson, ESPN's Chris Berman, Ray Charles, and O.J. Simpson. In short, I've handled the hot stories with the big names; I've been the guy to write a script for the nation's leading retail corporation when they needed it in 24 hours; I can write original creative or marketing copy with the best. Deadlines are challenges I can't wait to bite into; turning an uninteresting proposal into a sizzling slice of copy is my theme.
