How long have you been in radio?
Eleven years....... and I still love it....... right down to the cupcakes and donuts that just never seem to stop arriving and must be eaten........ those of you who know me know I am not joking either.

Major Highlight of your career?
I don’t think there’s any one particular thing that I would consider the major highlight of my career… as corny as it might sound my career is my highlight. It gives me great satisfaction to see any business small or large get a result from a well structured advertising campaign. The way I see it, we don’t just sell radio – we sell cars, houses, finance, furniture, computers, etc etc – and every opportunity I get to contribute to the success of other industries gives me a real buzz!

Why are you @ Hot Tomato?
You mean other than being 7 minutes from home … Seriously though, I believe we are the best sounding radio station on the Coast and the results and service we provide to our clients and local partners is something I am incredibly proud of. As the only independent commercial station in a market of three commercial stations, and with the other two being owned by the same network, we are in a great position at Hot Tomato to stir things up and keep the industry honest and working hard for local businesses. And, I should mention the monthly barbeque's still remain pretty high on the agenda as well.
