In September 2019, iHeartMedia welcomed him as Market President for its Madison, Wisc., station group. For the previous two decades, he was a manager at such companies as Sony, Lucent, Qello Media and Qello Concerts.

By April 2021, he had earned a big promotion, and as Market President for iHeart’s Atlanta station group announced a multi-year commitment to Atlanta-based Operation HOPE in support of their national 1 Million Black Business Initiative (1MBB), which aims to create a million new black businesses by 2030.

Today, he’s out of the job.

And, it has to do with a video that has surfaced of this local leader using the word “n****r” in the presence of other iHeartMedia/Atlanta employees, including an African American.
