Bio
Darrell Ankarlo
I always work with my advertising clients to know them as friends instead of just people paying some station contracted money. David Bates was easy to work with from the very start and within a few weeks David and I became a quick friend. Though my work at WTN is pretty far back in my rear view mirror a few things and people remain steadfast in my mind. One such person is David Bates not just because of the many things we discussed but because he knows more about plants than anyone I've ever met.
