Under his leadership, SVGBC has moved from a small unit at Dorsetshire Hill relaying TV from Barbados to an entity that has 11 other repeater stations located throughout the island, giving television coverage to every village in this country.

Hitz 103.7 was also the first FM station in the country to obtain an FM licence.

He then worked with an English company that had the responsibility for all the aero metrical communications through out the Eastern Caribbean. That company’s headquarters was in Trinidad and Tobago. He was the technical person responsible for the three locations existing here.
