President
In 1977 I founded what became TDS Media Direct. In 2015 I transitioned from CEO of TDS to pursue other opportunities. In 2018 the seed for WHJ Media was “planted“, integrating 21st century digital technology into our Media Partners’ marketing programs, and creating great opportunities for you and/or your business.
Vice President
My management background has helped task me with the development and growth of WHJ Media. I am currently involved with the expansion of the company’s customer base and the mastery of multiple communication hardware and software systems.
Partner
I began working in the hospitality industry in 2002, working mostly in production early on before training and focusing on sales. After years of success and growth, I became a partner with TDS Media Direct in 2009, and I have served as CEO since 2015. As one of the founding partners of WHJ Media, I am excited about our future and the ability we have to provide cutting-edge products to our clients as well as friendly and knowledgeable customer service.
Partner/Sales MGR
I started my career with TDS Media Direct in 2009 after graduating from Saint Mary’s University in Winona, MN. Starting in production, I quickly rose to a sales position in 2010. After several years of success, I accepted the position of Sales Manager in 2015, and became a partner in 2017. I have seen the industry change greatly over my tenure, and as a founding partner of WHJ Media, I am proud to be pushing forward with new products and services designed for the digital age.
Partner/Office
I began my career in the hospitality industry as a sales rep with TDS Media Direct in 2001. After eight years of helping expand and grow the company, I became a partner in 2009. In 2015, I stepped into the role of COO with TDS. In 2019, I transitioned from TDS to focus on growing WHJ Media. Seeing our capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand for digital content is exciting for our sales team and clients alike.
Web and Graphics
I have been in the tech and design industry for over 10 years. In 2021, I partnered with WHJ Media in creating their new Mobile Directory experience. I am now working directly with our sales team to coordinate and design new WHJ Media projects.
Sales/Graphics
I graduated from the University of North Dakota in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in marketing. Shortly after, I discovered the love for graphic design while working with a marketing company in Warroad, MN. In 2010 I created my own freelance graphic design company and have been designing ever since. In the fall of 2019 I started working with the sales team, and I am currently doing sales and designing projects for WHJ Media.
WHJ Media’s mission is to provide the best digital platforms to our customers in the Hospitality industry & beyond.
WE COMMUNICATE INFORMATION FOR A VARIETY OF MEDIA HOSTS, AS WELL AS ANIMATED ADVERTISING FOR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
WHJ Media produces motion-graphic video presentations. These presentations play in public areas of the contracted Media Host facility for continuous public viewing on our Hospitality TV.
Our presentations consist of three elements, all with independent motion to capture the attention of your customers. These elements are portrayed in specific areas of the presentation screen and contain 1) information about the Media Host services, 2) advertising from local dining, entertainment, services, attractions, etc. and 3) custom greetings and messages from the Media Host’s management.
The Media Host and local Sponsors all benefit by directly promoting their businesses to customers through cutting-edge digital technology presented in full color, with eye catching motion, which will ultimately sell your product or service.
Our Goal is to provide the Media Host and Sponsors the most effective messaging, presented in a variety of formats to their patrons.
It is to God’s glory we dedicate WHJ Media.
