Back in 2005, I was helping a recruiter at a job fair. The local paper did a piece on it, and my picture (with an inaccurate job title) was picked up by the AP.
It was probably attractive to other outlets because the prospect we were talking to was wearing a Green Day American Idiot T-shirt.
This, comrades, is how my face wound up as representing failure of the Army's recruiting efforts.

I did an interview while I was recruiting in Ohio. I had actually forgotten about it and figured that it was in the middle near the obituaries. About a month later I was walking by a news paper box and saw my face on the front page of the paper...needless to say I did a double take.

I was the leader of a Culinary Arts team in the Coast Guard in 2009 were we won first place in Iron Chef, and individually placed first in Cake Decorating and Sugar Sculpting. We were published in several areas including the Coast Guard Magazine in 2007 for the Culinary Olympics and in many other media outlets.

Coast Guard chefs sautee the competition in 2009 Armed Forces Iron Chef Competition
SEATTLE - Starched white chef coats offset the team members from the background surfaces of the stainless steel counters, charred gas stovetops and an array of cooking pots, pans and utensils scattered throughout the room. The four figures in double-breasted coats waited in anticipation for an announcement, a mystery ingredient known only by a select…

I was the Coast Guard spokesman for probably three dozen televised news reports, another 60-80 print articles, and a couple of "in depth" interviews: one for being the Coastie Liaison at the Air Force Senior NCO Academy, and another for an upcoming deployment (back in 2002).
I'm glad I already knew how the media worked - the worst I got was a great big drip of snot coming out of my nose during a major ship grounding on Long Island, NY, when it was 10 degrees and gale-force winds. My entire face was numb, and the reporter insisted on getting the interview with the grounded ship in the background. Bad choice on my part.

I ran a support group for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). I help stage a bowl-a-thon where we raised over 22,000 for research for that disease. We had race cars, 22 Tampa Bay Bucs, two TV radio stations and a TV station. Reginald Rountree of Channel 10 called my house and asked me how I did that. The year before they had 2 lanes and that year we had 22 lanes.
I have also forecast the weather on or about 100 radio stations in the USA, Caribbean and the Philippines and also help short track racing across this country. I have helped with the Florida Blood Services at Hooters where we did a blood drive.
My current aim is to spread awareness of ALS in the military population using these radio stations, race tracks and the media to this end.

Have you thought about contacting Hulk Hogan here in ST Pete? He is approachable about this type of PR and may be a good addition to 'spread the word!" Just a thought anyway ...

The Sacramento Bee did a special interest article on me back in 1993 when I won the area salsa contest. I went to Reno for the International Salsa contest and placed 8th.

I and my family were interviewed by a relatively clueless local reporter not long before my company mobilized to Iraq, and we were broadcast on that night's news.

For a short while if you Googled "Infantry" there was an image of me shaking GEN Casey's hand in a chow hall in Korea. Which is funny since I'm a Scout...
