When people comment about my being on the news that was...over 25 years ago! Some things people never forget.
During the last 25 years I've written the ads and been the spokesperson for an auto dealealership in Grants Pass. In that time, I've basically said "Buy this car" over 400 different ways. I contributed to another 100 or so commercials, hosted more than 40 specialty video productions and over 30 television and film specials ranging from documentaries and sporting events to election night coverage and 20-hour telethons.
Currently, I co-produce and host Southern Oregon Travelogue, now in its 14th year on the air. For an informative and entertaining look at what there is to see and do in Southern Oregon, watch the show in its entirety or in segments at www.sotravel.org. Or watch it on local television anytime, any weekend of the year on cable channel 9 in Jackson County and cable channel 14 in Josephine County.
Over the years, I've also emcee'd many fundraisers benefitting a wide variety of causes including Southern Oregon Hospice, Providence Hospital, PBS (KSYS-TV Medford ), Easter Seals and March of Dimes.

See below for highlights of credits as a television personality.
My career began in 1980 as anchor/producer for the 6:00 and 11:00 o'clock newscasts of Southern Oregon NBC-TV affiliate KOBI. In 1984, with more than two thousand newscasts under my belt, I moved to San Francisco where I became a network television news reporter for the ABC network station KGO. In 1985, I gave that up to return to Southern Oregon to open my own video production company. Southern Oregon has all the elements that I find desirable in a place to live and do business. A great climate, lots of cultural and recreational opportunities, easy-going people and a brisk economy. I still feel the same way. Nothing beats it!
