My media experience was gleaned from Radio and Television stations throughout Australia & the United States over many years. After my 'round one' life in the media, I was fortunate to have had a very successful career in the resort real estate and vacation ownership industry and won many sales awards in the mixed-use real estate genre. That company consulted on and produced fractional real estate projects in North America, Mexico, Vanuatu, New Zealand, and Phillip Island in Victoria Australia. Residing in Arizona and enjoying media 'round two', I run three businesses all related to business marketing and success. My sites include www.tucsonbusinessradiox.com the www.themarkbishopshow,.com and the third being developed now, www.Podcasting4Business,.com which will spearhead a comprehensive digital marketing agency offering the total 'tradigital experience'. I get the job done!
