General assignments writing principally focused on municipal government, aviation and features. Worked freelance and responsible for development, management and maintaining beats. Typically generated 10 stories weekly.

I conducted post-modification operation check flights on Cessna Citation 500-series aircraft, demonstrated modified Citations to customers and prospective customers and delivered finished aircraft, often times as single pilot, to their owners.

I was a line pilot in EJM's Citation "float" program which provided supplemental lift to EJM's parent company, Netjets. I flew a regular schedule of 7 days on/7 days off on a variety of missions carrying Netjets' quarter-share customers to various domestic and international locations.

Generally responsible for economic development, building inspections, plan review, grant and project management. Main accomplishment during this tenure was developing the city's first-ever building department responsible for plan review, contracts, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and building inspections. Managed remodeling of City Hall and conversion of former fire department into police department facility.

When KVST originally signed on the air in 1992, I was asked to create the station's first news department. I established the news program, set news department policy, hired and supervised reporters, made assignments, edited and produced stories and delivered the on-air morning news segments beginning at 6 a.m.
