About

For 25 years I've led radio brands, hosted prime dayparts, and developed digital content strategy in Boston, Hartford, Philadelphia, Toronto, Miami, and more. From hosting mornings to overseeing an 11-station cluster, I've worked in every department and love building winning teams. My approach blends a strategic, research-driven mindset with hands-on execution: put the right voices in the right dayparts, coach talent to connect with listeners, and align programming and sales in ways that grow both ratings and revenue.

Off the dial, I've led integrated marketing and large-scale live events — including multiple locally produced concerts per year and the St. Jude Radiothon campaigns that raised more than $2 million for the hospital during my tenure. I'm also an experienced digital content specialist with a track record of turning radio segments into social content that performs.
