Experience.  You cannot minimize the importance of professional longevity.  Change is the standard in today’s world.  If you can’t adapt, you can’t survive, let alone excel.   I am a broadcasting survivor, having successfully tackled a variety of broadcast styles, management changes and editorial emphases in small, medium and major markets. 

Loyalty.  Loyalty counts.  Your employer deserves it, but there is, also, loyalty to principle, professional and personal standards.  My high standards and dependability are among the reasons that two of the stations for which I had formerly worked asked me to return when the need arose and the situation had changed.  Those who have worked with me over the years will attest to my integrity – both personally and professionally. 

Commitment.  Commitment is essential . . . to a project, to a story, to whatever you’re doing at the moment and to the people who are working with you. 

Writing.  Writing is an often overlooked talent.  It shouldn’t be.  Legendary (and I’ll concede, the word is overused but is applicable in these cases) broadcasters like Murrow, Cronkite, Brinkley, Hewitt, and Ellerbee exemplified writing excellence.   They created mental pictures without the need for film or videotape.  I have tried to live up to that standard.  Writing  is a craft as well as an art. 

In more than three decades in front of the camera and behind the scenes, Loyalty, Commitment, Integrity and Writing have been paramount in my work.  They have earned me multiple awards, led to incredible life experiences, made me a comfortable living, and given me the satisfaction of knowing I can take pride in my work. 

Don’t think years but, rather, experience.  I'm ready to apply 30 years of growth in the field of broadcast journalism to your opportunity.
