Just Another Day At The Office

I am blessed! My "freelance" hosting career is realy taking off. How luck am I to be able to be able spend my days at "work" surrounded by amazing people in some beautiful locations.
Let's see...last October I spent a week in Bimini swimming with wild dolphins. A couple months later I was flown to upstate New York, where we showcased an amazing eco-friendly resort called the "Mohonk Mountain House." A couple months ago, I flew to Iowa to hang out with the wonderful folks at Hawthorne Direct, and today I spent the day in the beautiful Sonoran Desert taping a promotional video for TriVita Vitamins and Supplements. The crew was amazing and the weather was perfect. Next week, I am heading to Beverly Hills for an Infomercial followed by a shoot near Seattle at the "Suncadia" resort. Oh, and let's not forgot our Hotels.com shoot the middle of March in Kansas City. I hear there are some great steak houses there...

When I was laid off from the local tv station in Phoenix, I thought it would be tough to find a job that I enjoyed as much. Well, it looks like I have, and I am so thankful...

My First "Big Time" Infomercial

I arrived in Iowa yesterday to film my first "Big Time" Infomercial and so far it has been a blast. Plane rides, Limousines....it just keeps getting better. It's 4:55am Arizona time and I am getting ready to head out the door to breakfast and then off to Hawthorne Direct.

More pictures and great stories to follow.

I'm Breaking into the Infomercial Biz!

Well, I am back from the Electronic Retail Association Convention in Las Vegas and met some awesome people. Everyone was so nice and helpful. My goal was to introduce myself to some of the best Production Companies, Ad Agencies and companies that may need a Spokesperson or Host for their new product. I networked like nobody has ever networked before and now let's hope it pays off. I also ran into some "famous" Infomercial celebrities like Beau Riles, Forbes Riley, Anthony Sullivan and Billy Mays. I know you are familiar with Billy Mays, the OxyClean, Kaboom guy. (I'm pictured with him above)

Anyway, it may not always be easy walking up to complete strangers and introducing yourself, but if you want to succeed I guess you have to push thru your fears. Thanks by the way, to everyone that was soooooooo kind and full of great advice. (Ruth Wheeler, Wendi Cooper, Wes Dublin and everyone at Hawthorne Direct) Also, to anyone looking for the best web-designer around....Holly Jonas is the bomb. (Hollywooddesignpro.com)
