About me: Having worked in public relations for over a decade, and having been a journalist myself for more then 20 years, I find that it’s not so much the people you know as the people who know you.
Currently, I continue to work full time in public relations. I have been instrumental in the Oscar nomination campaigns for the scores to “The Passion of the Christ” and “March of the Penguins.” In addition, I have helped drive the successful Grammy nomination campaign for Chris Walden’s “Home of my Heart.” Through the years, I have had the honor to work with clients including Sixties acid guru Dr. Timothy Leary and Eighties Grammy winners Men At Work.
In the publishing field, I worked with the Tor Books releases "Enemy Glory" and its sequel, "Hecate's Glory," setting up book tours and soliciting reviews for these dark fantasies. With American Indian activist Russell Means, I was instrumental in publicity for his book, "Where White Men Fear to Tread." On the indie side, I have worked rocker Jizzy Pearl's "I Got More Crickets Than Friends" and the book-with-CD package "American Trash" by husband/wife duo Betty Dylan.
My work as a journalist continues to appear in Music Connection, Gorgeous, Boulevard and Long Beach magazines. I was editor of San Diego based Full Moon Fever. I hold a Bachelors degree in Magazine Journalism from Cal State Long Beach, where I was invited to join the faculty immediately after graduation.
If you look really hard, you may still be able to find copies of my solo CDs, "Kidd Solo" and "If I Should Die...Before I Wake." The single "Pride" from the latter made me San Diego's most played local artist.

Don't we all have to take a look back on our life knowing you have to tell a secret even if it may turn a diamond into cole? If we never tell - where is freedom of sacrifice?
Hi Tom! Thanks so much for checking out my music - that's so great that you heard it on the GoGirls CD!!! ;) I would like to talk to you more about some PR help...I actually have a possible show in Hollywood coming up in Nov. Thanks again for the note and I'll look forward to further talks. :)
