ia field since 1984 starting my career at LaGrange Daily News in advertising. Moving on to TV channel 33 in LaGrange then to Panama City Beach,Fl. with WTVY-4 the CBS affiliate.followed by Fox 28.then to Ohio to develop a local Fox affiiate and Ohio State University where I finished my masters before coming back home to the south. My career is taking all my time as I develop TV stations in Ga.,Fl., S.C. God has been the biggest inspiration in my life and my guide as I strive to do his will. I volunteer for any project that isn't supported by major non-profits. I enjoy also working with Main Street projects in my 25 county area. My goal is to remember where I came from and how blessed I am...if I can do it then it is possible for anyone to reach their dream no matter how large or small.I am thankful for my great friends in LaGrange.
