📰“ Another factor in wanting to stand out: at the time, his daughter Alyssa, worked at WTVA. ‘ I thought, she looks like her mom and they’re probably going to look more at her than me so I need to stand out a little more,’” he said with a laugh. “But they were always going to watch her more than me…” 🤧
🥹 My dad made the front page of the local paper recently and I finally sat down to read the article. Something I don’t say enough of - how proud I am of my Dad for continuing to stay in local media, going against the grain and not being afraid to have a voice. If you know my dad, then you KNOW!
My dad and his dad, my Bebop, are the reasons I got into journalism to begin with. And although my path looks a little different now, I’m able to reform my path in journalism through podcasting.
And yes we used to joke about who was number 1 and number 2 when i was in local tv but by the looks of it, my Dad definitely came out on top with the company he’s employed for! ♥️
Maybe one day he can make an appearance on the podcast 👀
Great interview Dad and amazing job in capturing my dad, !!! And yes dad, you do need to purge those closets. I believe you’ve accumulated just as much or MORE clothes than myself……. Which is… well… a lot… ♥️
