Redball Advertising & Public Relations is my advertising consultancy. I provide advertising, public relations, and marketing services for right-sized clients. My goal is to develop a genuine relationship with brands and act as an advocate for them in a changing marketplace.

I have enjoyed a very good career in advertising working with brands such as Kroger, M3Harris, Virginia Tech, The Fenway Group, Appalachian Power, and many others. I have won dozens of awards for advertising and public relations, have been awarded the Silver Medal from AAF, and inducted into the Marshall University Mass Media Hall of Fame. I am focused on working with clients who are making an impact in the community and budget or compensation is not a big concern for me.

I have written more than most writers, but mostly in short bursts as an advertising copywriter. Since transitioning away from traditional employment, I have enjoyed writing two novels.

Way Out Wayne is a coming-of-age adventure about a football team that seems to be heading towards a state championship until an on-field incident puts the season in jeopardy.

Baseball Cards at the Edge of War is a non-fiction book about the 1941 baseball season, the cards that were issued, the issuing companies, and the players that appear on the pasteboard treasures.

Looking for a great couples getaway?

We’ve lived in Roanoke for nearly four decades, but we only recently discovered what a jewel is in our presence at Smith Mountain Lake.

We have a nice, simple condo that we enjoy sharing with others.
