Outdoor Advertising

The concept for this billboard came from a marketing meeting where two things were acknowledged: 1.) signs are our most effective tool in attracting people to our property; 2.) we should have an authoritative spokesman for our marketing message.

For the first we went with the largest sign possible, a billboard, located right at the freeway exit to our property. For the second we chose Benjamin Franklin to deliver our message, and chose me to portray him. This proved very successful, the billboard was renewed several times, and the Ben Franklin brand was continued throughout our advertising.

Musical Performance

I play trombone and bass and am a member of the Twin Cities Musicians Union, local #30-73 of the American Federation of Musicians. Besides odd jobs here and there, I play in two bands on a regular basis: a traditional Dixieland band called Band of Praise, and a jazz big band called Just Friends Big Band. The best way to learn about these groups and my role in them is to visit their websites. I also built and maintain these sites, so they are additional examples of my work in that area.
