Carey's Story

Life Wow! Time has flown! I use to be known as "Dr.K" or my radio name of JJ Cruse. I became a network TV producer, director. A college professor and an ordained minister! I am nothing like I was in high school or as I called it the "dark ages." Deep down inside I am still a very nice guy like in high school but once I got away form those horrible teachers and coaches at Erwin who were breaking me down I went on to nearly finish my PhD with a 4.0 GPA, ran an organization with thousands of employess, and become one of the most powerful people in the entertainment business around the world and have made millions of dollars and won over 100 awards like emmys, addys, and a few dozen grammy nominations. I remember that guidance teacher Ms. Griffin, among others, saying "I would never amount to anything!" Well... today I make more money sitting on a beach soaking up the rays for an hour than she does working a whole week. Most people who know me today would say I am a A type personaility, a very hard business man, outgoing entertaining speaker, and a huge flirt aka "playa!" Just do a keyword search on me and my company HMTV Group. I started the company in Anniston, Alabama, a very long story, but sold it to a company in Florida and moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and loving it! I have always loved the beach! I play golf at my club TPC Sawgrass nearly everyday I am in town. Please don't take that as me being arrogant I only h...Expand for more
ave what I have by the grace of God and very hard work for 20 years where I bascially I had no life. Due to the damage I saw being done in the public school system I volunteered teaching at UAB for 6 years building students up and mentoring hundreds of students that I saw break out and become become great productive successful citizens. That has been my greatest joy in life. Workplace I started in radio but met a catholic nun named Mother Angelica and we started the world's Catholic TV Network several thousand employees and seen in every major city in the world. Yep I was a Southern Baptist then and was becoming a Assembly of God...I have already written a book on that experience and am waiting for Mother to pass before I release it. I don't want to hurt her chance for sainthood. She is a great woman of God but human like us all. I started my own company in 1986 and sold it in 2005 but still oversee it today and am trying to settle down finally. I do a lot of freelance for various TV networks directing sports and concerts for all the big TV networks. My advice follow your passion and their will be tough times but it will pay off for you! Today I have a blessed life of the beach, golf courses and world travels for leisure. Minister at a great church and have wonderful friends all over the world and still looking for that right personn now that I feel I become a right person. Life is good and God is awesome!
