As an on-air host at both CVN and Valuevision, I hosted and co-hosted several shows that set sales records, including one of the first million dollar hours at CVN. I helped recruit and train on-air hosts at America's Value Network, some of whom went on to long careers in the industry and beyond. I also helped train new hosts at Valuevision during the early days of the network while it was still located in Edina. The work I have done for clients with my business, EZ New Media, has received over 25 awards for excellence over the years, including over a dozen Telly Awards.
I was an on-air host at CVN for almost two years until the company was acquired by QVC
I was hired by AVN two months after it went on the air in 1987 to produce a brief weather report once an hour. I later became production manager and was responsible for hiring new employees, including hosts, and guiding the overall look of the network. I filled in as a host in a pinch one day, and found my calling! I continued hosting shows at AVN until I was hired by CVN in 1989.
I was hired as an on-air the second month Valuevision signed on the air in 1992, and later moved into additional roles including editing and producing product b-roll, scheduling shows and even sourcing merchandise. I left when I started my new business, EZ New Media.
