Created Orange County's first Community Radio Station, OC Talk Radio featuring live, weekly podcasts from OC's top business leaders and community groups. Been podcasting and live streaming our shows since 2010.
Prior to that, I spent 30 years providing Public Relations and Marketing advice for many Small-to-Mid-Sized Businesses (SMBs) both in Los Angeles and later here in Orange County, California. With my original partner (Skip Heinecke) I represented a select group of Hollywood celebrities from Johnny Mathis to Anthony Quinn and Jose Feliciano. After that, I worked with a wide variety of entrepreneurial companies and professionals from psychologists, dentists and plastic surgeons to lawyers and business coaches but specialized in leisure products such as pool tables, outdoor bbqs and hot tubs.
I've done work for numerous Billiard Manufacturers (Olhausen, Vitalie and Murrey), Spa Manufacturers (Sundance, Freeflow and Dream Maker) and Personal Organizers (like Day Runner and We're Organized). I've also handled quite a few bars and restaurants from The West Channel Bar & Grill and Beverly Hills Diner to The Beverly Hills Saloon, Les Arts in Pasadena and the award winning Kelly McCue's Sports Bars & Billiard Clubs in Chino and Mission Viejo, CA (of which I was also part-owner). I also served as a freelance restaurant writer for the San Pedro Weekly and the Riverside Press Enterprise. I've organized and promoted many special events including several Luxury Living and LA Home Shows, the UCLA Acting Awards, many Billiard Industry Trade Shows, Celebrity Tennis and Golf Tournaments and the Cetacean Society's Annual Whale Walk. Along the way, I also promoted several professional Pool Tournaments like The Peter Vitalie Invitational in LA, The McDermott Masters in Detroit and The World 9 Ball Championship in Chicago. I even served as technical advisor on a CBS Movie-of-the-Week, KISS SHOT, starring Whoopi Goldberg and acted as a senior advisor for the late, great Maureen Reagan when she ran for the United States House of Representatives in 1992.
I've worked with authors, celebrities and entrepreneurs alike. How can I help you tell your story?
