After attending the University of Miami , Stu migrated to Southern California , where he graduated from the Pasadena Playhouse of Theatre Arts.
After a few years in “show biz”, he returned home to South Florida , and spent 15 years in the Real Estate/Construction industry, and six years in the wholesale flower and Orchid business.
Feeling a need to return to his creative roots, Stu grabbed an opportunity to host his own radio show in the local market. A self proclaimed “oldies freak”, Stu hosted a 50’s talk and music show from 1984 to 1999 on several South Florida stations, including W I O D, W K A T and W A X Y 790. He is also co-author of the book, “Oldies But Goodies, The Rock & Roll Years”.
While Stu was still on the radio, opportunity knocked again, and he became co-owner of a video production company, which, in turn, led to the acquisition of a large duplication facility, providing video, cd and dvd duplication and replication.
After a few years of running his own company, the urge to downsize brought Stu to The Dub House. He brings his experience as an owner and his commitment to the best customer service possible to The Dub House Team.
In his spare time, Stu still loves listening to his “oldies”, and tending to his orchids.
Stu is married to Jill, has two daughters, a step daughter and six grandchildren.
