In addition to photography I still work in radio as I have since the late seventies.


I caught the radio bug at Centenary College at WNTI-FM. My first job was in Allentown, Pennsylvania at WSAN-AM, a free-form progressive rock station where I played the debut albums by Boston, Piper featuring Billy Squier, Supertramp, Joan Armatrading, Budgie and other new bands.


A highlight of my career was the work I did in television. I had my own show on KYW-TV in Philadelphia called "The Rock 'n Roll Show" that aired once a month from 1979-81. I also appeared every Saturday night on Eyewitness News with a report I created called "The Rock Review". During this time I interviewed a LOT of rock stars.

One of the bands I featured on the show was a new group from Ireland called U2. It was their first appearance on American television of that I'm aware. After my interview with Bono at the KYW-TV studio at 5th & Market Streets, I drove Bono to his gig at the Bijou Cafe on Lombard Street and met the band. They performed for about fifty people that night. Many years later after they became the biggest band in the world, I saw Bono again and he remembered our time together.

From 1983-1996 during my tenure at 93.3 FM WMMR, I hosted and produced "Street Beat" the first show of its kind in Philadelphia. The hour-long weekly show featured new, original music from area artists giving them valuable radio exposure to help their career. The most notable band that was first played on Street Beat was Live who went on to be named Band of the Year in 1995 by Rolling Stone Magazine. Other bands that were regularly played include The Dead Milkmen, Kenn Kweder, The Innocence Mission, Bricklin, and WNOC just to name a few.

Since 2005, I've been at Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK, Philadelphia.

Professional voice-over work is something I've done throughout my career as a member of AFTRA, (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). You never know when you might hear my voice on a telephone on-hold system, radio commercial, or out of the ceiling of a retail outlet!

I also work in films as a bit player. Most recently, I worked in "The Happening" directed by M. Night Shyamalan that will be out June 13, 2008, and "The Lovely Bones" based on the best selling book, directed by Peter Jackson was filmed in the Philadelphia area and I worked in several scenes. My other film work includes The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Rocky Balboa, and In Her Shoes. I've been a member of SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) since 1980.

And most recently, (December 2007) I received a Certificate in Digital Media for Web and Print at Moore College of Art and Design. That's how I learned how to make this website!
