By working in positions in front of the camera and behind, in music marketing and talent development, as a music-magazine writer and editor, as a television host and producer, as a show creator and production-staff member, as an author and publisher, and as a content provider and a website creator. Even as his journey took him from print journalism to TV journalism, from news to entertainment, from the music business to the education field, one thing has never changed: first and foremost, he is a storyteller.
