Thanks for taking the time to find out a little bit more about me. Basically, I’ve been paid to talk ever since I was a teenager, starting with a dare to audition for the new student radio station at Texas A&M University.

I was then lucky enough to spend my entire radio career in my hometown of Houston, Texas, at KRLY, KRBE, KSRR, 97 Talk and the Biz RadioNetwork. The highlight was my ‘dream’ radio station KLOL, one of the oldest and highest rated rock radio stations in the country, where I spent over a decade working with the greatest rock stars in the world.

I left radio and began to cultivate my entrepreneurial side – creating, growing and selling TheSpaceStore.com, the largest NASA and space-related e-commerce operation in the Universe. Somewhere along that path, I met and married Charlie the Wonder Husband, now a retired NASA pilot.  We live in Seabrook, Texas with our three sons. I write business books and business articles.  Charlie writes science-based thrillers and is a corporate aviation safety consultant.  We play golf. One of us is better than the other…..
