History
I began my career at CBS-TV & WTOP-TV, Washington, DC, Production Training Program following the college years. In this valuable program, I advanced from Production Assistant (PA) to Associate Director, to Assistant Director, to Associate Producer, to Staff Director in three years and directed numerous network programs for CBS News and Sports.
I co-founded September Moon Production Network, Inc., a successful independent television-film-event production company in Southfield, Michigan which opened in March 1983, In 2005, my ownership was sold to my partners, which has enabled me to expand my horizons as an independent Producer-Director and I’m now represented by my agent and manager, Bob Conlon, Mizerowski & Associates, Detroit, Michigan.
