I’ve spent a good deal of time in Washington DC on behalf of our industry discussing with members of congress the critical role we play in providing essential local content to the people we serve. Every newspaper, every local station is part of the foundation of a free press and democratic society. The health of those business models is pivotal to providing that service to our communities and our country and that’s what drives me.

Throughout my career I’ve challenged myself to develop innovative strategies that meet the needs of the stakeholders of local media - audiences, advertisers, journalists, and the hard working sales and marketing teams that fuel what we do. Experience has taught me the skills to grow and optimize revenue and resources while creating the kind of product we owe to the people of our communities that helps them navigate their daily lives. With a track record of sustainable growth through strategic financial plans and fostering collaborative cultures, I’ve put together some truly high performing teams dedicated to achieving organizational objectives.

Local TV is a team sport with a big responsibility. I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to work with numerous talented people who’ve been the real drivers of success in the organizations I’ve been a part of as President, General Manager in Seattle at KING TV and as VP, General Manager in San Francisco at KRON. I’m eager to continue this journey to ensure we’re doing our job for the public we serve.
