A Condensed version of my Radio Resume:
During my career my
leadership abilities translated into winning radio station teams. My attention
to detail and organization
led to the development
and execution of highly successful programming and promotion ventures.
I have also been involved in leadership roles within various organizations
both volunteer and professional since high school. Between 1966 and 1972,
while a student at Odessa College and the University of Houston, I worked
both full and part time for a number of radio stations in Odessa and Houston,
ranging from weekend air personality to program director for both commercial
operations and the campus stations at Odessa College (KOCV) and the University
of Houston (KUHF).
