UPDATE: July 2025
Hallmark Channel was at Fenway Park in Boston to celebrate Christmas In July. Our Marketing Team put together a big promotion with The Red Sox and one of the surprises of the day was finding out that The Christmas In July Promo that I worked on made it to the Jumbo-tron. Something like that doesn't happen that often. It even made this Yankee Fan proud! Huge Thanks to the One and Only Leilani Gushiken for managing to capture part of the promo with her phone in one hand while holding a beer in other hand other and balancing various ball park treats on her lap. That, as they say, is talent.

I was pleased to contribute several of my Hallmark Media Promos & Trailers to the Festival and I am extremely proud to have been chosen to take part in this ambitious and outstanding media event.
UPDATE: March 2025
In a rather unusual turn of events, I actually took part in The Images 2025 Film Festival. The Festival was presented by my College Alma Mater Seton Hall University. This was a celebration of the works of current Seton Hall students and featured the successful accomplishments of Seton Hall Alumni who have gone on to careers in the Television, Film & Entertainment Industry.

I also make appearances in these books. All are well worth reading - and not just because I’m in ‘em. Interviews, real life TV escapades and more. True tales from a strange career in the media. In Mitch Friedman’s hysterical ’Swell Goatee’, my name was changed to Steve. I think this was done to protect the innocent during our time together on The Howard Stern Show. Not sure it helped.
