My love of the coastal region began when I landed in Myrtle Beach, SC right after high school in 1968.  I attended Marshall University in my home town,  Huntington, West Virginia, and later pulled a stint in the US Coast Guard.

My start in the entertainment industry was booking rock and roll groups and traveling across the U.S. with them.  I landed back in the  Myrtle Beach area in 1977, and thus landed in the radio industry with WKZQ.  Somewhere along the line, someone once referred to me as a Renaissance Man.  And, I suppose I am since I have a wide variety of interests and have a certain level of expertise.  That is, except for golf.  Although I live in the golf capital of the world, I can't play putt-putt much less golf!

My knack for spinning records and filling radio airtime with chatter has allowed me to be a radio personality on the Grand Strand for 25 years.  I perform Stand Up Comedy and Impressions and emcee local functions.  Moonlighting as character actors in Television, Commercials and Motion Pictures, performing Voice-Overs, and writing and recording novelty songs are all activities that I enjoy.  An appearance in a music video with Alabama, who are good friends of mine, was a highlight in my career.

But, my fondest memories are being inducted into the Carolina's Beach Music Hall of Fame in 1998, and being named the 1983 Billboard Magazine Personality of the Year.  And, I have won numerous commercial, national and regional production awards

In the late '70's, I drew the caricature for Dick Biondi's Super Gold Rock 'N Roll Show, a syndicated radio show across the U.S.  More recently, I drew the illustrations for the upcoming children's CD by Diamond Dave Summerville called  "The Cosmic Adventures of Diamond Dave in Dreamland" former Lead Singer for The Diamonds.  I also designed and drew the promotional poster for Karl Slover, first trumpeter, one of the Munchkins of the Wizard of Oz.  I have also drawn the logos for various independent businesses in the southern region over the years.
