Summary
As the General Manager at Christian Television Network (CTN), I oversee the daily operations, programming, and outreach of the station, with the goal of spreading the gospel and serving the community. I work with a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, and partner with local churches, ministries, and organizations to produce and broadcast quality and relevant content that impacts lives and inspires faith.
I have been an ordained Evangelist for 18 years, and I have a passion for sharing the love of God with people from all walks of life. I use various platforms and media, such as television, podcasts, and social media, to communicate the message of hope and salvation. I also enjoy meeting people and building long-term relationships, both personally and professionally. I have a Bachelor's degree in Business, Management, and Economics, with a concentration in Marketing, from Empire State University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage and market a Christian TV station.
