Philip's Story
Life
I left Jones Vanguard at Christmas and finished my sophomore year at Lamar. Never returned to high school. I worked at the Chili's on W. Grey for almost a year, did a radio show on KPFT, then started at 79Q. I worked on radio stations around the country for 8 years, interrupted by a 6 month holiday in Scandinavia, Europe, and Greece. I had some success developing programming and was hired twice to build new stations from scratch. The last station I built was KSTZ 105.7 FM in St. Louis.
I was married in June of 1987 at the Grand Canyon. My son was born in 1988. When KSTZ sold in 1989, I returned to Portland and to college. I supported my family through college working as the DJ at the Champions Sports Bar in the Portland Marriott. After earning a BA in Economics at Reed, I was accepted to the ...Expand for more
PhD program in Political Science at Rice University in Houston.
My dad passed away about the time I finished my coursework. I left Rice with a Master's degree and returned to Portland to work as a market research consultant. After a couple of years in consulting, I took a job with CarMax in Virginia to build their market research department.
In August of 2005, I was accepted in the Georgetown University International Executive MBA program. As of this writing, I am preparing for a residency in China, then will travel to Instanbul Turkey before graduating in April 2007.
My son was recently accepted into Chicago's Columbia College. My 13-yr old daughter is a gifted student and athlete. My wife has returned to school at the University of Richmond where she is working on a degree in paralegal studies.
