"For what it's worth, your resume is one of the better presented I've seen. I especially liked the "25 Fascinating Factoids."
--Tom Bier, Station Manager, WISC-TV
"You've done good work (notwithstanding your taste in interns). I'll keep you in mind."
--Con Psarras, VP/ND, KSL-TV
I am an older, experienced radio/television veteran searching for a challenging opportunity in the broadcasting and/or horse racing industries. I am confident my wealth of professional experience can contribute significantly to the success and the improvement of a new or existing business operation.
I can easily relocate into any area of the United States. My past experience will allow me to quickly settle and assimilate into any situation or city in the country.
I am a veteran broadcasting professional with more than three decades of experience at the microphone, on the board, in front of the camera, and behind the scenes.
I am currently working as a horse racing analyst/commentator at Prairie Meadows Racetrack & Casino in Altoona, IA and for the American Quarter Horse Association.
I was a two-time NSSA Alaska Sportscaster Of The Year as Sports Anchor/Sports Director at KTUU-TV2 (NBC) in Anchorage, AK. My position and reputation allowed me to cover events and stories in many foreign countries, including the U.S.S.R and Canada, where I reported on the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.
During my stay at KTUU, I hired a young sports intern by the name of Sarah Heath. Today, she is Sarah Heath Palin, former Governor of Alaska and the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Sarah mentions me by name on Page 47 and Page 410 of her new bestseller Going Rogue!
I have also worked in the specialized field of thoroughbred horse racing. I was "on-the-air" as the radio results announcer for all three major Southern California thoroughbred tracks: Del Mar, Hollywood Park, and Santa Anita.
In 1993, San Diego's legendary radio giant XTRA Sports 690 noted my broadcasting and horse racing expertise in its decision to hire me as the host of the station's first thoroughbred racing talk show.
In 2008 and 2009, I was at the microphone as guest host on the Southern California-based thoroughbred racing program Inside Racing, which airs on KLAC AM570 Los Angeles.
