Meet CEO/Publisher/Motivational Speaker

Welcome, Everybody!!

Thanks for stopping by the site today! **EPP is THE Directory that POWER PLAYERS and emerging POWER PLAYERS are using all over America. I'm often asked, "How did you think of the idea for EPP?" The answer is simple. After visiting libraries and websites, looking for a first-class publication/resource to help me transition from college student (Howard U. in D.C.) to industry professional, I couldn't find what I was looking for so I created ENTERTAINMENT POWER PLAYERS.

If you work or would like to work in the entertainment industry, ENTERTAINMENT POWER PLAYERS -- affectionately referred to as "EPP" -- is for you!!

The Kodak Student Filmmaker Program signed on as our very first ad sponsor and the rest is history!! What was initially created to help an audience of one: me, has now grown into a superior-quality publication that is helping spur on the TV, Film, Music & Sports careers of thousands.

Make sure you order your copy of Edition 3 now - while it's still available!!! It's soon to become a sought-after Collector's Edition too (check out Amazon.com re: our 1st Edition and you'll see what I'm talking about!!). FYI, EPP: 3 is filled with 5,000+ Contacts that's designed to help POWER UP any TV, Film, Music or Sports Career!!! It is helping loads of people across the nation, found a solid home within the entertainment industry and on 150+ college campuses nationwide. While we're in motion with EPP: 3, we also have our sights set on our forthcoming powerhouse Edition 4 -- set to launch in 2009. Emerging & Established POWER PLAYERS, thanks for your continued support. Every time you purchase a copy(ies) you can help us spread the word and more POWER PLAYERS are better equipped to take the industry by storm.

I've gotta run now, but feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the Directory, success stories especially welcomed!!! Also, if you'd like to bring my "ENTERTAINMENT POWER PLAYERS: How to REALLY Break Into the Entertainment Industry" seminar to your school or organization, send me and e-mail or call my cell (323) 533-1971. My calendar is filling up and I'm excited about it!!
All the best,
