I am an accomplished media professional with 15 years of experience in country radio and 10+ years of music scheduling experience in the format, which includes editing and research. My wife and I recently made the decision to move back to St. Louis so our one-year old can grow up with a strong family network to support her as she grows up. As you will see below, I am able to maintain high level of performance while multitasking many projects.
