Professional Summary
After 40 years of morning radio in San Jose, it is time to come out from behind the microphone and see people face to face. Poised and confident, I have a great speaking voice and a talent for knowing my audience. I am a fantastic emcee, company spokesperson, interviewer and community liaison. Experienced in commercial endorsements, my radio clients included Sleep Train, Comcast, Valley Heating and Cooling, Furlong Vision, Daughters of Charity, Purina One, ZeroRez, Happy Hollow, El Pollo Loco and SummerWinds Nursery.
