Professional info
I have been working in Entertainment (radio, television, film, theater, and music) since my first band performed in 1964. We were awful, but by 1967, the new band was good enough to earn some decent money. I have since worked as a professional actor, radio announcer, fashion and commercial photographer, writer, producer, director, and advertising campaign designer. How did I manage so much? When asked if I can, I always say yes then go out and do it. Besides, I have been around a long time. That helps.. .
