Storm has been sworn in!

On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, Storm Bennett was appointed and sworn in as an active member of the Anderson Foundation for Parks and Recreation Board.  “Storm’s infectious personality and local celebrity status will bring a lot to the table as we grow the Foundation.” -Dale Bartholomew, President of the Anderson Township Park Board. The Anderson Foundation for Parks and Recreation, the fundraising arm of the Anderson Township Park District, was first formed in 1991 to fund projects that the tax base and revenue generation could not accommodate.

The Foundation has a long history of contributions to the Park District such as the Juilfs Park office addition and tennis courts, the Kellogg Park concession/restroom building, and the Beech Acres Park All-Children’s Playground.

Bennett Defied Expectations for Career in Broadcasting

Forty Under 40 2010 winner

James “Storm” Bennett, 39, is the president of Killerspots.com, a production house and ad agency he founded in 1997. Back when he was 19, a professor told him he’d never make it in the world of broadcast – but Bennett has spent more than 20 years as a radio host, DJ, television personality and national voiceover artist.

Q: Where do you go for advice?

I get advice all the time. It’s great, sound advice that’s hard to come by. I get my advice from very successful business people and seasoned professionals who have been through it all. I get a lot of advice from my dad, who is a senior sales and marketing account executive for 3M, as well as my longtime mentor Joe Blackmon, CEO of ChillsThills.com.

Q: How are you tackling the current economic challenges in your business life?

A day at a time like most business owners. I might be weird, but I seem to get more motivated because of the challenges. It seems to keep me on my toes and (make me) strive even harder.

Q: What part of your job do you enjoy the most?

Our morning meetings. I am a sucker for camaraderie and creative ideas bouncing around a room.

Q: Your workday is off to a bad start. How do you turn things around?

I usually walk into our WalkOnSite.com studios and get myself on camera. It’s so much fun to be on-camera for my clients. It beats being behind a desk all day!
