Not Your Typical CPA

10/20/07

Recently I was at a conference in Montreal and someone asked me about "what 
I do." Normally people think of CPAs as dry, boring...typical bean counters.

So to be honest - I had to think about this for a moment!

Why?

Well - I'm a CPA who isn't a "bean-counter". I'm also a guy who loves 
helping people which is why I launched a talk radio show  at WNJC 1360 AM 
www.wnjc1360.com) in Sewell, NJ.  I describe my show, "Greenberg News" as 
Larry King with a sense of humor.!( I broadcast at 5pm on Thursdays. )

 Over the years, I've spoken to a number of national and local celebrities. 
It never ceases to amaze me what I learn each time. I even had the Wall 
Street Journal include me on a national story  about talk show hosts.

One topic from the radio show spawned a TV opportunity.  One of my areas of 
interest,  college planning, was discussed on "Greenberg News" that was picked up by the GM of WPSJ TV (www.wpsjtv.com).  Through 
this discovery, we developed "College Bound" a TV show dedicated to
educating parents and students so they can find the right college at the 
right price.  Soon, I was appearing nationally on Wall Street Journal Report 
and Bloomberg News and in Readers' Digest, NY Times, Chicago Times, LA Times 
and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Who say CPAs can't have fun too!

I'm also a travel nut. With encouragement to write about my travels, I am 
now a travel writer for www.travelworldmagazine.com.

Another hobby came from one of my clients, Jo Anderson Model and Talent 
Agency.  With their outstanding expertise, they have placed me on TV
shows, commercials and print ads.  My first gig was appearing on Court TV's 
"Forensic Files" as a detective.   I have portrayed a sleazy car salesman in 
a commercial, a part I claim is a stretch, others say otherwise.  And, I have 
appeared as a doctor in a drug company's ethics handbook.

I think I'm living proof for my clients that ANYTHING is possible. You can 
have a fabulous career, create wealth and you can also experience life on 
many levels - without having to stay awake at 3 am worrying about the 
future.

Because honestly - life is too short and way too much fun to be worrying 
about the money.
