At the tender age of 19, I started working as a disc jockey while still attending Broadcasting classes at what was then known as Northeast Louisiana University. After graduating from NLU, a long career in radio and TV broadcasting continued until the mid-'90s, as I worked as an announcer, program director and station manager of various mainstream radio stations in northeast Louisiana, including KNLU-FM, KLIC-AM (using cheesy on-air names such as "The Cosmic Cowboy" and "Country Charlie"!), KMLB-AM, KWEZ-FM, KXKZ-FM, KREB-FM and Magic 106 FM (where I assumed the moniker "Hitman Halley".) During this time I also worked in television as an audio technician at KTVE-TV Channel 10. After accepting Christ and discerning God's will for my life in 1996, I worked in Christian radio at "100.9 FM The Hill", hosting the mid-day shift there and starting a concert promotions agency, glory2glory productions to produce Christian concerts throughout Louisiana. At my "day job", I'm the administrator of a human services agency located in Bastrop that has advocated for people with intellectual disabilities in northeast Louisiana since 1955.

In my spare time, I enjoy working as a background actor and extra in the Louisiana film industry and have appeared in over a dozen theatrical films and made-for-television movies including Disney's "Glory Road", CBS-TV's "Locusts" & "Vampire Bats", Lifetime TV's "Life Is Just A Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story", ABC-TV's "Ruffian", as a stand-in for actor Stacey Keech in director Oliver Stone's film, "W." My latest extra work was in "Snitch" with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Susan Sarandon, which was released in early 2013.

Also I host a live radio show every Saturday night on LA 105.3 FM in Monroe, the "Polyester Ball" that is also streamed live on www.la105.com and on the TuneIn Radio app for Smartphones, Androids and tablets. I call it the "Saturday Night Dance Party" and we play disco and dance music from the '70s & '80s plus rock 'n' roll and "slow dance" requests & dedications from the '60s, '70s & '80s. 

Needless to say, I live a very busy but fun life!
