 I am SO excited! 

This is a labor of love, a decade in the making. I have always wanted to take my years of knowledge and information and present it in an easy way for others to learn. Well, the time has come! 

Ever wonder how some people seem to be on TV all the time? After nearly 30 years in broadcasting—from local news to the anchor chair at CBS's The Early Show—I'm pulling back the curtain on what really gets you noticed, booked, and invited back.

I have compiled three decades of knowledge, experience and expertise into Pitch, Practice, Perform; How to Make the Most of Your Time on TV!  which takes you behind the scenes of television success. This comprehensive course reveals the actual decision-making process that determines who gets airtime, the preparation secrets that help you own every second on camera, and the performance techniques that keep producers coming back for more.

This isn't just theory - it's three decades of real-world experience distilled into actionable strategies. Whether you're just starting your media journey or looking to level up your current appearances, these proven techniques will help you become the guest producers fight to book.

Ready to transform your media presence? Check out the courses below and let's get started!

Why Learn from Me?

I'm not just another media trainer—I've lived this from every angle. I have covered breaking news like the FBI standoff with the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. I spent hours on air during the Oklahoma City bombing and the Bush-Gore election dispute. Breaking news is my thing but it's not my ONLY thing. I have interviewed literally thousands of people from First Lady Laura Bush, Prince, Beyonce and so many more.  Now, I'm sharing the insider knowledge that only comes from decades in the business.
