Testimonials
"CHARLIE ECKER is the consummate professional and a gentleman. It was a pleasure to see him develop his profiles of California companies. I have never seen anybody come up with as many stories about as many L.A. companies doing as many things as Charlie... Noboby deserves more credit for the quality of broadcasting (at KBLA)."
Chuck Ashman, Host, KBLA-AM's "California Drive" during final broadcast

"CHARLIE ECKER is the best media man I ever worked with! His reporting background coupled with a fast-forward approach to media placement served our company well, not only with the twelve Convention Hotel Network properties, but through his trade relations work with the other 135 Marriott Hotels world-wide."
Jack Burk, former Public Relations Director, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Washington, D.C.
"CHARLES ECKER has interjected energy and enthusiasm into our Coast Guard Auxiliary operations for many years, ranging from his outstanding Public Affairs work for both our flotilla and our division, to his writing and editing of our excellent flotilla 'e-zine' -- "WaterLine." Now that he is transferring his skills into our very important Public Education program, his knowledge of boating and his superb public speaking skills will certainly help boost our efforts, immensely, to better inform the public about boating safety. As a member of "Team Coast Guard", Charlie has held leadership positions which he carried out to the fullest. His work has benefited our boating community and the members of our Auxiliary in their personal training. I am proud to recommend him for any position."
Anne Z. Cioffi, Division Officer for Public Education, Flotilla Officer for Human Relations, former Marina del Rey Flotilla Commander
