| SO...HOW DID I GET THE GIG WITH THE BEACH BOYS? |
| "In 1989, I was hired by Beach Boys lead singer Mike Love's Global Entertainment Organization (GEO) to organize and implement personal appearances by the Beach Boys to benefit GEO's Project Teach Scholarship Program. It was a traveling position with the Beach Boys on their 1989 and 1990 tours. I was working on my masters degree and it was a perfect fit for my schedule. On the heels of the chart topping #1 song "Kokomo," it was a very special time in the band's history. I'm honored to have been there during that period. While touring with the group, I became close friends with band members of the band, friendships that have lasted and grown throughout the years. In the summer of 2000, I was asked by (then band member) Adrian Baker and Mike Love to co-develop and implement a web site that pays tribute to Present, Past and Associates of the Beach Boys band over the years. It was a great opportunity to combine my skills in marketing, advertising and public relations with my experiences and passion for the Beach Boys. As a result, Beachboysband.com was created on July 7. In 2003, Adrian Baker formed ABP Records and hired me to coordinate the company's projects. We have released seven (7) cds on the label since then. Aside from this web site and ABP Records, my main occupation is Vice President of Marketing at Allen Finley Advertising (AFA). The agency focuses on music, sports, medical, political, and furniture advertising. Marketing materials and web design have been produced for Beach Boy Al Jardine (web site: www.AlJardine.com), Charlie Daniels (concert booklet), Travis Tritt (concert booklet), Jo Dee Messina (concert booklet), the Class A Professional Baseball Team the Hickory Crawdads, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, and Dale Jarrett's NASCAR Racing Experience." |
