Fun facts:
- My first position in public relations was actually in the late 70s, supporting a New York theatrical press agent.
- I was the first deejay on Holland-America’s flagship the ssRotterdam; I played disco records in the Sky Bar with dimes taped to the turnable arms to keep them from skipping.
- In 1980, I lived two blocks away from the Dakota and heard the shots when John Lennon was shot.
- My partner (now spouse) and I just celebrated our 40th anniversary together. We moved to Asheville, NC after 9/11. We were living in DC at the time.
- In high school, the first computer I worked on created punch-cards. The first computer I owned had a 40mb (not a typo) hard drive, which was 14″ x 14″ by 6″ high, an amber 12″ monitor and a 12 pin printer. It cost $3500.
- In college, I had to stand in-line at the bank on Fridays to cash a check in order to party on the weekend. There were no ATMs.
- I learned to type on a manual typewriter. Copies were made on carbon paper.
- I’m left-handed.
- I record (DVR) all broadcast television so I can avoid interruptive advertising.
