I am a longtime publicist, running Now Hear This, Inc., a PR agency that -- founded in 2004 -- has clients from coast to coast throughout the U.S. I previously worked for ten-and-a-half years in the Olympic Movement, including serving as Chief Press Officer at two Summer Games. Before that, I freelanced for three different full-service agencies in Jacksonville, Florida. That followed my having been VP/Public Relations at the League office of the National Lacrosse League for three years. Previously, I had spent ten seasons in PR with a National Hockey League team. Now Hear This clients range from indie music artists to authors, actors, entrepreneurs, podcasters, filmmakers, small business owners, and more. I have been podcasting (every week) since February 2014 (as in, never missed a week once). Coupled with another weekly show I have been doing since February 2019 as well as a couple others I'd been contracted to do, I am at well over 900 episodes produced/hosted in my podcasting career. As a speaker, I have spoken at events from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Washington DC to Nashville to Tampa and points in between, plus even in the UK. I have an entire website devoted to all the speaking that I do, having spoken at podcasting events, writers (authors) conferences, songwriters festivals, marketing summits, and more.
