Portland…the one on the west coast not in Maine…is one of the markets that people love. Get tons of calls from promo people who ask me to alert them to jobs in Portland. They just filled the Creative Services Director job at Nexstar’s CBS and CW affils KOIN and KRCW. The lucky man is a native to boot. Born in LA and raised in Portland, DERRIC CROOKS is not only talented but also interesting. He loves British motorcycles, spring flowers and The Flintstones. He was promoted to the lead creative after being a creative producer. But wait, there’s more. He directed and starred in the PBS series The Ride, about 1990’s teen life in America. Check it out by clicking the link for the IMDB page. Very cool all round. Lots of good stuff happening in Portland. Well Dunne! Derric.
