DIRECTOR

Barbara graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, with a degree in Art Education.

Her career in advertising and media has spanned 30 years and included  positions as a graphic artist,  art director  and television sales executive. 

Barbara moved to Richmond, VA in 1984  to join WFofR Advertising,  a media buying company specializing in TV advertising for  pharmaceutical companies.  During her 20 years at WFofR, she rose to the position of Vice President/ Media Supervisor , served on the company’s Board of Directors and,  from 2000-2004,  was President/COO of  Radio Marketing Group,  a newly formed subsidiary of  WFofR.   

While marketing a highly specialized “niche” business like Accident Investigations is  different from the mass marketing approach of electronic media,  Barbara  finds it a refreshing change to have “more than 30 seconds”  to explain the benefits of our product to our customers!
