| Introduction | I began my life as an actor in London (where I was born in the Borough of Kensington) - When I was old enough to "Do my own thing," I emigrated to Canada - after two years, I went to New York City, doing PR for folks like Chubby Checker and Clint Eastwood. After 2 years in the Big Apple, I drove Route 66 to Hollywood. I hosted TV shows, did a series of public speaking tours on what a great country America is, worked as a PR executive for Continental Airlines; a cruiseline; and a top PR agency; acted in plays, traveled widely; met and married a wonderful European woman - had two equally wonderful children (now grown adults) and in 1992 I began my career on US radio. I did this at top rated LA stations - KABC, KKGO, and KNX1070 NewsRadio. I'm now on KFWB. I've visited 51 countries. All of this keeps my mind fully engaged, and gives me hope that I might live to be 100! |
