Some things people never forget....
Like the fact that I was a newscaster on a Medford, Oregon, news channel way back when. 1980 to '84 were great years working for KOBI-TV. It was the start of my television career and it opened up many doors for me in my professional life including a job at KGO in San Francisco as a TV news reporter.

Since 1985 when I left broadcasting to start my own video production business,
I've been on hundreds of 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 marathon telethons. For 16 years, I co-produced and hosted a television program that highlighted many of the amazing attractions in the Rogue Valley and beyond. "Explore Southern Oregon" was seen all weekend, every weekend on two channels from 1996 through 2012. It aired thousands of hours and was also on the internet 24-7 for the last 8 of those years.
Here are two recent examples of TV commercials I appeared in for a financial investment firm in Northern California. (The handsome man I'm with is my real-life husband, George Rubaloff.)
