When Hollywood closes I'm out of the announcing business. That's why for the time being I'm wearing two hats. When I got engaged I made a promise to Tina and her daughter Lilly that when HP shuts down I wouldn't go back out on the road to another out of town track.

When and if that happens I'll be a full time agent and probably do some freelancing for TVG.

But you will continue your position as announcing mentor?

I for one will miss you buddy....as I think your a rare talent who has made following the Hollywood meets enjoyable and interesting. I applaud your priorities to your "wife and daughter to be" and truly wish the list stops at 1) broken hip 2) TIA or RIND 3) multiple episodes of agitated hypertensive crisis secondary to univited opinions pertaining to how you make your living...

Hopefully your health will solidify with a reduction of daily stress and the love of a good woman in a happy house......good luck.
