Decades of Experience

I have over thirty years of experience working with Media and Management. I can work with small operations to large operations. I have worked with
large metro media and I have worked with small county weeklies. I've worked with newspaper websites and digital services to getting my hands dirty on the printed newspapers press and delivery. I have managed multiple properties at one time and have managed up to fifteen direct reports along with 16 individual operation budgets. I have created many new revenue generating ideas as well as evaluated and eliminated legacy products that no longer produce. I am a strong leader known for being tough but fair. If you need an extra set of eyes or an interim manager - I'm your guy.
