consultant in marketing and human resources known as Biz Coach (https://bizcoachinfo.com), Proven Solutions
for Maximum Profits. As part of my marketing services, I have voiced countless commercials in the Seattle
market. At 17 stations, I loved my broadcasting career as a DJ, in sales, news and in consulting. Highlights
included covering top stories and newsmakers including two U.S. presidents. I must pay tribute to the 1960's
Bill Drake format: As an aficionado of the format years ago and even decades later, I adapted its principles
for use in my on-air newscasts, my news programming and even in creating a talk show for AWB, the Washington
state chamber of commerce from 2005 to 2007. No surprise, adapting the format resulted in top ratings in
multiple markets. In consulting for one station, I once hired the legendary imagery voice of Charlie Van Dyke
the group's president later told me the station's revenue had doubled in just six months. How could you
possibly have more fun?"

Best story: Patti Smith sitting in her limo in the station parking lot listening to Easter
air in its entirety on the album preview show - she was coming to KGON for an interview on
my all-night shift and later told me she was going to blow the interview off if I bleeped
any of the swear words ... I didn't, and she hung out for a couple of hours picking records
to play and having a pretty good time of it. It was one of the few interviews done during
that tour. Worst interview - The Ramones - couldn't get much more than 'uh-huh' or 'nuh-uh'
for answers out of Tommy & Johnny ... and they were the talkative ones!"
