TAM COMMUNICATIONS - Key Persons
Diane has a dizzying array of hobbies. She likes to shoot pool, oil paint, read and cook. She also loves spending time outdoors whether it's gardening, taking her dog Whisper (shhh!) for walks, or hiking. She practices random acts of kindness, including paying someone else's check (how cool is that) and, like all of us at Tam, loves to laugh. Not so much before noon. Her motto: "All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person." She's always had an aptitude for math. Good thing...she's our bean counter.
Kim has spent most of her life involved with productions of one sort or another, from theater and live music, to performance art and parades. She's an accomplished playwright and songwriter, and loves telling stories in a variety of ways. She likes big picture thinking, and somehow also relishes the gritty details. Kim's diverse professional history lends itself to all aspects of a production. She brings the whole package to every project she works on, along with a keen sense of humor to keep everything balanced.
A native of Massachusetts, Larry began his advertising career at Kenyon & Eckhardt International in Bah-stun. Since moving here from Beantown. Larry has made media planning his thing for not only clients in Santa Cruz County and throughout the Central Coast, but in the Bay Area. Larry, also, loves playing golf. Fortunately for us, he's a lot better at making media buys than he is at sinking putts. So while we're not inclined to sponsor him in any golf tournaments, we're glad to have him as an expert partner when it comes to helping our clients get maximum exposure for their Tam Communications produced TV commercials.

If you want to understand how Regan attacks a project, consider this: She skated roller derby for 12 years, named MVP for four of those seasons for the world-ranked Santa Cruz Derby Girls. And, like all great athletes, she's laser-focused on the end goal, moving things in the right direction, and making sure that when all is said and done, it's a win-win. If you're looking for a powerhouse producer/director, who has her eye on the prize (your satisfaction, look no further.
