Striving to raise the quality of entertainment for all.

<p>Music, sports, movies, classic television, and entertainment has always been a passion for me. Throughout my life, I have been involved with music and sports.<br /><br />In music, I am a musician that has played in several bands of varying renown in my younger years. Have been trained in audio/video/recording engineering and production. I have been a co-owner in a commercial recording studio in NY and now own my own little project studio in Rock Hill, SC (a suburb of Charlotte, NC). As a studio engineer/producer I have recorded and produced numerous artists some having national fame. As a live concert sound engineer, I have done live sound for scores of live acts ranging from regional favorites to international award winners in numerous genres of music.<br /><br />I am a Grammy voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts &amp; Sciences. I am a 3-Time Charlotte Music Award Recipient. I am a co-founder of the Carolina Entertainment Network, a non-profit organization whose mission is to ignite, unite, and excite a music scene in the Carolinas for the benefit of artists, fans, the general public, and the regional economy. I am also an advisory board member for the Charlotte Music Awards.<br /><br />On the sports side, I have been involved with various sports throughout my youth. Now that I have gotten older, I participate less in contact sports but remain an avid fan of many sports but personally, have switched over more to leisure sports like golf, bowling, horseback riding, etc.<br /><br />On the television side, I fell into this by accident in 2005 and have grown to love its power and reach. It gives me an opportunity to combine my love of arts and entertainment, sports, production, and music. I was originally approached by Time Warner to co-produce a sports show for the Charlotte, NC market. I eventually acquired the rights to the show and had expanded the show's reach and audience ten-fold. The show, Sportsnight with Bill Rosinski (former voice of the Carolina Panthers) ran from 2005-2009 until the economy hit some hard times. Now that the economy is coming back, I look to re-launch Sportsnight as well as introduce a great new music program that highlights the region's best original, independent music talent called, "Carolina Sessions".<br /><br />Ethics and morals play a large role in my decision making. I have walked away from several well paid professional positions because in those instances I had found that there were decisions being made, practices being employed, and philosophies that fell outside of my interpretation of ethics and morals and did not want my name to be associated with what was taking place. After several instances of this, I decided to pursue my own passions and started Cullis Entertainment LLC. My dedication is to quality entertainment that is suitable for the whole family. Programming that brings a positive message to viewers and presents only those who would be considered as good role models whether it be a celebrity or the average citizen. There are too many bad examples and negativity in modern entertainment and my message is quite the opposite. I am not of the school of "If it bleeds, it leads". I want to present examples of positivity and good role models can be inspired by and aspire to be like, especially for young people.<br /><br />Right now, I am promoting and hopefully with the support of people like you that feel the same way about entertainment and sending a positive message while providing quality entertainment, I will be able to get both of these programs onto television to as many as 2.2 million possible viewers, and that's just for starters.</p>
