  Skyways Communications, LLC

  • Co-founder & President

    • Apr 1999 - Dec 2009

    Skyways Communications was launched after a long-time career in Broadcast Television News. I worked as a reporter, producer and news director in four Television markets before workin as Executive Producer at CBS/Boston for nearly 12 years - the best job in Televison News! When the TV News model began to change in the 90's, I took the entrepreneurial plunge, co-founding Skyways Communications with the vision of producing high quality online new media content for corporate clients even before new media was ubiquitous. Clients found our approach of 'story-telling' with online content a compelling strategy. After 10 successful years, Skyways was sunsetted and I founded my own company, Boston Media Group providing a strategic approach to online content as one of the many channels in the fast-paced online communications of today.
