Alan, in his own words: (2008)"I've been in Washington DC since 1995; spent time in publishing and cable TV production, but radio won out every time. I'm now the assistant Chief Engineer and Senior Audio Producer for the Radio America Network (Yay! Network gig!), a Professor of Audio Technology at Montgomery College in Maryland, and I was on the crew that constructed and wired the new White House News Briefing Room you see on TV. "Visiting DC soon? Drop me an e-mail and we'll swap WHEN battle stories."
