Advertising and Marketing Experience:

Trone Advertising, Greensboro, NC - Account Executive for RJR brands, Camel and Winston, and Nabisco brands, Baby Ruth and Planters Nuts. This was a great experience for me - it's almost unheard of in the advertising world to have national brand exposure of this caliber unless you work on Madison Avenue.

TCI Media, Asheville, NC – I helped start the advertising sales division for this company. These were the early years of cable T.V. and local advertising sales were in the infancy stage of development.

The Goss Agency, Asheville, NC – I contracted my services to this agency for a year and my assignment was finding new business growth potential. I landed on Internet Marketing. I spent the year developing this department for the agency and managing the proposals and projects for regional and national level accounts.

Education:

Baylor University, Waco, TX – I have a B.B.A. in Marketing /Finance and an M.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing.
