Throughout my life I have attempted to use my gifts and skills in the communication media to make Jesus known to the world and to make God present to his people.
I began my vocational journey by earning a Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting degree from the University of Florida, and getting as much practical experience as possible. My skill stack as a television executive and producer/director has enabled me to manage produce and direct live talk/variety, magazine, news, and instructional television programs and documentaries for 50 years, 44 of those years in Christian Television. I have been able to bring many elements together to reach a desired goal, on time and within budget.
