About

Anyone in the media business has to be a life long learner to remain effective and relevant.  This blog is a the perfect outlet for my ongoing fascination with media and marketing..

I just joined Comcast Spotlight for the 4th time.  There is a reason why I keep coming back; Comcast Spotlight’s cable and online ad products are the most dynamic multi-screeen advertising solutions in the business.  It’s a rewarding environment where I am constantly learning.  Before this I was a full time tenured  Associate Professor in Sport, Arts and Entertainment Management at the Point Park University School of Business teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in advertising, marketing and new media.  Previous to the teaching career were some 20 years successfully managing media properties including internet, cable, radio, and print including stints at Cox Communications, Clear Channel and Comcast Spotlight.  I am like 100+ years old.

Connecting to the community is important to me so I am a current board member of the Media Association of Pittsburgh (MAP) and  the New Hazlett Theater. Graduate of Leadership Pittsburgh, member of the American Marketing Association, and the International Radio and Television Society Foundation, Inc.  Past president of the Pittsburgh Radio and TV Club (now MAP) and grateful recipient of  their “Best Media Professional” and “Best Internet Professional” and Art Stein Award.

Formal schooling:  MBA from the University of Pittsburgh Katz Graduate School of Business and B.A. in Psychology and Sociology from Hood College in Frederick, MD.  Informal: everyday I learn. Somethings I don’t learn the first time – so life repeats the lesson.  Sigh.
