Bowie. Ziggy Stardust. No question.

What’s the single biggest change in a manager’s responsibilities since you started in the biz?

Digital marketing. MySpace to TikTok, and everything between and beyond. Ever-evolving platforms, content, content, content, in a million different formats, get a handle on it and they change it all and it's on to the next. It's a lot.

Describe your all-time-favorite photo, memento or tchotchke from your job.

My name mentioned in HITS sometime in the mid-‘90s.
