television/radio

Over
the years I dabbled in a variety of broadcast media,
probably most notably as a game show host. When I was
in college, I deejayed at WUNH 91.3 in the middle of
the night. I would hold on-air contests with prizes
like a can of octopus in garlic sauce. People actually
called in at 3 AM to win my bizarre prizes. |

Collaborating
with NH Public Radio on an initiative to bring

writer,
actor, co-director "Longbelly" - Deli Electric Productions
| |
I
want to be clear that this project is the brainchild
of one of my favorite longtime artistic collaborators,
Ryan Baker (of Robot
Monkey Arm). I fleshed out Ryan's epic story
of intergalactic space cows into a 12 episode
(4 1/2 hour) radio drama script. Together we recorded
the play with a twenty two member cast. The project
has been years in the making and will be completed...
someday, hopefully. |

actor "The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow" - New Hampshire Radio Theater
| |
During
my television days, I was cast in this production
by the New Hampshire Radio Theatre. The cast was
made up of radio and television broadcasters from
different stations through out the Granite State.
Basically it was an "All-star Team"
created to perform old-fashioned style radio performances.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was broadcast on nine
stations around Halloween. It was recorded in
front of a live audience. I played multiple characters
-wearing a woman's wig for at least one of them. |

co-host "Granite
State Challenge" - NHPTV
| |
For
one season, I co-hosted the longest running quiz
show on public television. During this time, an
unusually high number of elderly women stopped
me in line at the grocery store to tell me that
they were fans of mine. I was basically the program
announcer and contestant interviewer. The season
culminated into a live broadcast Super Challenge.

floor director,
camera operator "NH Outlook" - NHPTV
| |
NH
Outlook is dedicated to statewide coverage of
the people, places, politics, communities and
culture that make the Granite State unique. As
floor director, I was able to rub shoulders with
all sorts of NH notables. I even did the governor's
make up. |

|
floor
director "2000
Republican Presidential Debates" - NHPTV
| |
This
was one of the more interesting events I worked
for during my time at NHPTV. I shook hands with
Steve Forbes, and I showed Alan Keyes to the bathroom
several times. I had to signal to Cokie Roberts
(who at the time was the co-anchor of the ABC
News' Sunday morning broadcast) when someone's
time was up. I seem to remember that the only
Republican candidate who was unable to attend
the debate was George W. Bush. |

|
on-air
personality "Pledge
Drives, TV Auction" - NHPTV
| |
The
pledge drives and live auctions are really the
bread and butter of talent work for a PBS affiliate.
I enjoyed every minute of my time with NHPTV.
I remember there being llamas in the studio at
one point. Those were the good old days. |
