About Me

Ah... the indignities one must suffer when they've celebrated 50 years in this crazy business. Not only do you get turned into a bobblehead, somebody gets the bright idea you'd look cute dressed up like a garden gnome!

I'm the Vice President of Industry Relations at Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts. I'm also a part-time race car driver and all around good guy.

I'd like to meet:

Specs Alumni, industry people, and other guys named Dick.PLEASE NOTE: If you are going to send me a message PLEASE include your name, your RTV/GFX number, and a phone number. Thanks!!
