“Lee brings an intriguing mix of skills, science and experience. His world view enables Lee to see what others fail to see. His anticipation and prediction of where and how a competitor will react was very beneficial to us as we worked together on “BLAZIN’ 98.9FM” San Diego. My overseas experience has allowed me to work first-hand with Lee when he was a Program Director in Australia. He has great people skills. He's a talented Programmer. He has been a Manager, PD, Promotion Director and On-Air Talent. If he were an actor you'd refer to him as a triple-threat. I highly recommend Lee for any programming, promotion or management role in media.”

"Lee is a no nonsense radio professional with an abundance of energy and an unsurpassed knowledge of its inner workings. He is extremely quick to understand issues at a radio station and then put in place a strategy to rectify the issue. While he was at The Pulse he was undoubtedly largely responsible for its increase in ratings and, consequently, advertising..."

"I've known Lee since we launched Wave 105 in 1998. His programming skills shone in the early days and facilitated the ideal launch platform from which to develop what has since become the UKs leading regional radio licence based on market share.
Martin Ball/Managing Director WAVE 105.2FMwww.wave105.com
Professionally, Lee offers an intriguing and effective combination of broadcast science coupled to a lifetime of "on the job" experience. He has the dexterity to seamlessly meander; one moment you are discussing compelling and creative radio ideas, honed in diverse formats on various continents and the next, an extraordinarily curious, detailed and analytical persona kicks in.
In combination it allows Lee a holistic view on the business of programming a radio station, which positively influences strategic, tactical and optional activities, which subsequently leads to great results.
Lee has very high operational standards; he is honest, hardworking, reliable and professionally committed to any task in hand.
Personally, Lee is a genuinely good guy."
“Lee and I have been friends and colleagues now for more than 20 years. He is the consummate professional, steeped in radio knowledge and expertise – and with an enormously infectious enthusiasm for radio in general and programming in particular. He has an incredible aptitude for the scientific part of programming and is very much at home analyzing audience research as well as a well-honed instinct for the creative side of the business, in particular working with and coaching broadcast talent who all respect his expert opinion and ideas. In short – a fantastic radio pro…”
