After many years as one of those “Mad Men” with New York ad agencies, I joined Publishers Clearing House in 1981 as Director of Advertising. Initially I got to know our sweepstakes winners when they were brought to our Port Washington, NY headquarters to collect their prizes. Then, in 1988, Todd Sloane and I started the Prize Patrol, delivering Big Checks in-person to winners’ homes and video-taping their surprise and excitement for our TV commercials. Along the way I was interviewed on countless TV and radio talk shows, spreading the word on the absolute reality of our televised “winning moments.” Now, after more than a thousand winner visits -- awarding over $300 million in prizes, I am less active in PCH’s day-to-day business but still travel from coast to coast as Prize Patrol Ambassador. I never tire of knocking on doors and “knocking the socks off” lucky PCH fans; it's a thrill every single time. When not on PCH duty I'm involved in various community and church activities, play the piano, play bridge, bike, exercise, and walk our two dogs.

In recent weeks I’ve awarded Big Checks in five states and have been on and off planes and in and out of airports about 20 times. I also shopped in supermarkets, florists and restaurants. And everywhere I go people see my Prize Patrol suitcase or uniform and gasp, “You mean you guys are real? I […]

The word is out around my town that I’m one of the guys who presents those Big Checks “as seen on TV” to winners of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes .  When people recognize and talk to me the first words they utter are “You mean that thing’s real?”  Secondly they say, “So when are […]

When you see our iconic “winning moments” on TV, you surely see an ecstatic winner, the Big Check, roses, balloons and the Prize Patrol.  What you don’t see is the one person that makes it possible for you to witness all that excitement: the video cameraman! Without a professional cameraman (or camerawoman) to capture all […]
