what I've been doing since high school |
Broke into Sports casting at WJLA-TV while attending U of Md. Helped launch Ted Turner's CNN back in 1980, as one of the 4 original Sportscasters. Joined Glenn Brenner and James Brown at WUSA TV-9 in Washington in '83. Left DC in '86 to become Anchor/Managing Editor for Sports Channel America based in New York City. Left Sports Channel America for CBS Sports in 1990. Reporter/Producer for NFL Today, March Madness and the '92 Albertville and '94 Lillehammer Olympic Winter games. Left Sports after Lillehammer Games and joined CBS News "60 Minutes" as a Producer for Mike Wallace. Left CBS News in September '97 to launch ZCOM, Zeidman Communications, a News Media Consultancy. Now I teach Corporate Executives how to deal with people like me. Mike Wallace told me "you've joined the dark side of the force" ... judging by network coverage of the Monica/Bubba thing ... I think I made the right move. |
