I enjoy work with a purpose. I have experience in as a radio station manager, professional educator, public information officer, event planner, and motivational speaker. My career path has also given me additional experience in television, entertainment, audio recording, writing, studio engineering, and more.
Since 1993, I have been the general manager of WMPH radio. I turned the defunct station into a 24 hour a day entertaining and profitable part of the community. Being an educational radio station, I have trained several hundred students during this time. I also began a second broadcast facility called WMPH 2 Internet Radio. I am the founder and coordinator for the Broadcast Learning Center of the Brandywine School District that includes not only the radio stations, but a closed circuit television facility, recording studio, film club, school newspaper, and web site.
I have an excellent work ethic and a strong sense of community service. I present a professional image in all my work. I thrive on a fast paced environment and generate enthusiasm for each task. My greatest source of professional satisfaction is to exceed expectations on a regular basis. As a manager, I know how to treat people with respect, handle difficult situations with care, and find solutions.
My skills also include a comprehensive knowledge of computers and engineering. I designed the WMPH radio studios with an architect and worked with contractors during the building process. I personally installed all the studio and transmitting equipment. I have a great deal of experience with audio applications including concert recordings and editing. My computer skills include office applications, web site design, creative print advertisement layout, audio / video non-linear editing, and network installations. I also have had previous television experience with studio cameras, videotape, master control, UHF transmitters, and satellite equipment.
Like everyone, I am a work in progress. Although I have a tendency to think my way through life, I have learned to adapt a Disney philosophy that “now is the best time of your life.” The one-time theme of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress sings “life is a prize, live every minute. Open your eyes and watch how you win it.” Total health is attention to the physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social.
Emotionally, I tend to be appreciative of beauty, analytical, philosophical and poetic, sensitive to others, conscientious, and idealistic. At work, I am schedule-oriented, detail conscious, economical, and persistent. I see problems and find creative solutions. Being an American history enthusiast, I still marvel at the making of this great country. America also is a work in progress. I take civic duty very seriously, helping in any way possible to nurture the communities and society of our nation.
Each person has a private universe within their head. Reality is based in part by perception. There are two ways to view the situations of life: positive or negative. My simple philosophy is “Feel Good - Think Positive!” I am aware of the dark side, envisioned by George Lucas in his Star Wars films. The negative emotions of fear and anger lead to depression, anxiety, and suffering. I prefer to live for others and a higher purpose by establishing trust and understanding in all relationships. I enjoy projects with a purpose that build by collaboration with others.
Most of all, I believe a person is never too old to dream. Dreaming inspires hope for future generations. A visionary sees what is not there and soars above mediocrity. Whether on a blank canvas for the artist, a white piece of paper for the writer, an empty sheet for the musician, a depressed community for the social worker, or creative computer software for the student, it is necessary for the soul to imagine and create a better life.
