"I met Bruce when one of our investors suggested he would be a great person to help in our marketing and sales activities. At the time we were struggling to make inroads in our sales to mobile providers and carriers.
Through Bruce's hard work we successfully closed several large deals that turned our business around.
Without Bruce, I can honestly say, our business would not exist today.
Bruce will always be the first person on my list to call for sales and marketing assistance in the future."

I
have known Bruce since 1988 and have tremendous respect for his
unique depth of knowledge of electronic media spanning radio,
television, cable, online and mobile. He is a highly organized
advertising, marketing and media strategist who brings creative
insight, enthusiasm and high energy to every challenge. Hes
one of those rare team players who can lead or follow
but
always brings his A game.

Ive known Bruce for nearly 20 years going back to
when he was with USA Networks. What I enjoy about working with
Bruce is his dedication to his work, his curious mind, and his
inability to let a problem go unsolved. Often, his areas of expertise
are quite technical. Im not, but he has the ability to translate
into English. Bruce can be quite the visionary and an asset for
whomever he works.

I met Bruce four years ago when I hired him as Senior VP
of Integrated Marketing for a start-up wireless company. It was
a challenging assignment at the early stages of the wireless industry,
but he succeeded in opening doors for us into clients and ad agencies.
His integrity and loyalty are impeccable. Hes one of the
most human-centered people I know and taking that into the workplace
is extremely important.

sort of guy who pursues goals with diligence, intelligence and
enthusiasm.

rock solid. Hes a very strategic thinker. He got every dollar
out of every opportunity. But best of all, hes always been

Bruce worked for me for nearly ten years at USA Networks.
During that time, he was the most professional member on my team.
Hes very knowledgeable about sales, marketing and advertising
a rare trait. During the years we worked to create a cable
force on the West Coast; Bruces skills produced a leadership
position for the company within the regional advertising community.
He was not only creative, he was also innovative. The result was
that he secured tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue for
USA and the Sci-Fi Channel.

Everything is not as simple as selling ice to Eskimos, and
Bruce understands it. As one of the best strategic marketing and
sales people Ive ever met, he knows how to analyze a situation,
and then organize communication so that its uncanningly
appropriate to the target audience. Plus, he really understands
all the nuances of marketing and selling the new media well.

"Bruce worked with me at my Internet ad serving company and
brought in more dollars than anyone. He's one of the best sales
people I have ever met, with an amazing ability to grasp an idea,
turn around and sell it to someone for money. Bruce is 'the' independent
media/technology person on the West Coast and there's no one better
or more knowledgeable."
