“A leader's job is not to do the work for others, but to help them figure out how to do it themselves, enabling them to achieve results and exceed their own expectations.” — Simon SinekFrom a young age, I was captivated by television. My mother has photos of me in front of the TV during the 1985 World Series, passionately narrating the play-by-play as George Brett faced the Cardinals. This childhood fascination transformed into a career when I secured my first sports broadcasting role in Tyler, Texas.My journey took me through some remarkable newsrooms across the country, where my dedication to community journalism eventually led me to transition from on-air work to sales and leadership in television.Currently, I serve as the Vice President/General Manager at Denver7, part of the EW Scripps Company. Throughout my career, I've learned that effective leadership is vital for any organization’s success. I pride myself on being a visionary leader who understands the broader picture while guiding my teams toward tangible achievements. True leadership involves knowing when to take risks and making timely decisions, all while balancing daily operations with future aspirations.In my roles as Director of Sales and General Manager, I emphasize helping advertisers craft tailored marketing strategies. I believe that innovation is crucial in today’s television landscape, and I am well-versed in selling local digital solutions, including real-time localization engines that syndicate content across various platforms. Over the past 15 years, I have built a solid track record of enhancing business value, expanding market share, and identifying unique opportunities where others may not see them.Leadership, to me, is an intentional, daily commitment to my staff. It fosters creativity and connection, inspiring those around me to strive for excellence. I believe that true leaders prioritize the growth and success of their team members, which in turn drives collective achievement. Leadership is everything to me; it opens doors to new possibilities. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s embark on this journey together. Let's GO!
