WWUH Radio 91.3 FM / Classical Music Producer and Announcer

Me, Myself, and I

Outside of my business career, I enjoy a widely varied assortment of pursuits and activities. As a volunteer member of WWUH Radio 91.3 FM, a public alternative radio station operated as a community service by the University of Hartford, I serve as a classical music producer and announcer.

I'm also active in a number of civic organizations, including the Harvard Business School Club of Connecticut, Harvard Club of Northern Connecticut, President's College at the University of Hartford, World Affairs Council, and MIT Enterprise Forum.

Among my primary interests is the evolving impact of Web 2.0 — the emerging trends in which the Web is being used as a platform for communication, collaboration, and sharing information — more particularly in seeking ways to capitalize on such features in developing and transacting business internationally.
