Job Description:

Beating up the phones, building the story, closing the deal.

Bio:

A long and twisted background in media, starting in broadcasting and sales for a small cable station in Toronto. Then on to CBS in Raleigh North Carolina, then selling the cable networks for TCI/Time Warner, a brief foray in radio, before heading into an online media company called Interadnet. As an equity partner, we helped build a media company to 125 employees and subsequently sold the assets when it all hit the fan. In Cincinnati, I have been working at the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber and after dipping my toe into the health insurance market (too cold!), I am back in the media biz. I enjoy travel and have a family consisting of two boys and a girl, an understanding wife and a Boston Terrier named Lil.

Favourite Thing:

My family.

Pet Hate:

Liars.

Special Talent:

My otherworldly ice hockey skills (in my head).

What makes me happy:

Winning in ice hockey, closing the sale, being outdoors.

My worst habit:

Thinking out loud.

Person I would most like to meet and why:

Jesus, Neil Young, Bobby Orr, Abe Lincoln, Da Vinci for obvious reasons and to ask them for a start up loan for my latest crazy idea of the week.
