CEO of the company, founded Connoisseur Communications Partners, LP, in 1993. Through strategic purchases of multiple single radio stations in medium to small sized radio markets, the company grew to 39 stations owned or operated.

Connoisseur operations were and continue to be characterized by well researched and targeted programming, intense training and development of its people, and dedicated local service. Ultimately, the company was sold to Cumulus Broadcasting in October, 2000 for $258MM, which represented premium multiples in spite of the relatively smaller size of the markets in which the company operated.
