Congrats, Roger!

Always nice when a talented client moves on, and these days it's nice to hear that anyone is actually hiring.

When I first got a call from a guy named Roger Susanin, I could tell he had a unique quality just from the conversation. His personality just jumped through the phone, and when his first tape arrived I saw that same trait on camera. He was working at a cable operation in Pennsylvania, occasionally rubbing elbows with people from Philadelphia.

Roger worked hard to hone his craft and within a short time had a really good tape. He also bought into my "send a tape anywhere" tactic. At one point he sent a tape to an opening that required five years experience, which he didn't have. He got a call from the ND, who liked his tape so much he was considering shuffling his staff around to make room for Roger. (Those of you afraid to send tapes for which you think you're under qualified, take note of this.)

That's not the job he ended up with, but he landed at a solid station in Little Rock, KATV.

I expect great things from Roger, and know he'll do well at his new home. Congrats on a well deserved success!
