Skills
Skilled in digital audio - ProTools guru. Mac, Unix & Windows platforms. Had my first Internet shell
account back in ’93. Well versed in HTML, Perl/cgi, PHP, etc... If I don’t know it, by god I’ll figure it
out. Of course I know my way around the usual apps. But by far my biggest skill & asset, is
understanding what makes great radio: Compelling & Entertaining personalities that drive ratings.
