A native of Boyne City, I attended public schools K-12 and Central Michigan University earning a BS in Broadcast & Cinematic Arts. Following college, I worked for a marketing services company as a field supervisor providing special events nationally for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Motorsports.
In 1984 worked in New York City for Young & Rubicam Agency as an Account Executive on the Lincoln Mercury Dealer Account and in 1985 was promoted to Account Supervisor on the Los Angeles Dealer Account based in Los Angeles, CA.
Recruited by DDB Needham I returned to Michigan to work as the National Field Supervisor on the Audi of America account from 1987 to 1995. Seeing the growth of data-based marketing I joined R.L.Polk as an account manager on the Ford Motor Account and in 2003 I was transferred to the General Motors Account. In 2005 I was recruited to take a contractor position with GM as the General Manager of Dealer Marketing Support Services.
General Motors was struggling prior to it’s Bankruptcy Filing and, in a cost, cutting move they terminated all contractors prompting my return to Northern Michigan. Licensed in Health and Life Insurance and in 2013 Real Estate.
