Biography
BuzzWhacker-in-Chief since 2000. Former Deputy Managing Editor/USA TODAY, Executive Editor/Wilmington News Journal, Editorial Director/UPI. Founder of The Wilmington Writers' Workshop. Currently b-to-b newsletter editor/publisher.
Interests
I'm fascinated by most everything, which probably has something to do with my being ADHD. But the top priorities are my two kids (one plays soccer, the other runs cross-country) and my globe-trotting wife. After that I try to squeeze in: football (Phildelphia Eagles), soccer (Manchester United and the U.S. Women's National team), basketball (N.C. State Wolfpack and the Sixers), hockey (Philadelphia Flyers), my web site (Buzzwhack.com), my T-shirt/Mug BuzzWhack site (www.cafepress.com/BuzzWh ack), the newsletter business (my day job), and in my spare time I watch reruns of "West Wing."

BuzzWhacker takes on Mancow

10:34 AM PST, November 3, 2006
If you're a fan of shock jock Eric Mancow, then tune in to his show on Monday, Nov. 6. I'll be a guest.

The past couple of weeks have been busy. More than 30 newspapers have run stories on The Buzzword Dictionary. I've been on three TV shows (CNBC's Squawk Box, Geraldo At Large and WNBC's Today in New York). Radio has been buzzing too. I was on Spike O'Dell's WGN show, plus several smaller stations.

Tonight it's WBZ in Boston. Jordan Rich will be interviewing me at 11:30 p.m. This one is more than the standard 4-5 minutes. It's a half hour. That's a lot of buzzwording. And Jordan's show is syndicated in 38 states and Canada.

Hope you catch it.

Spent the early morning hours Wednesday with the fantastic crew of WNBC's Today in New York show. And it was a great interview. Catch the video posted on their site.
