He served as a political reporter for The Cincinnati Enquirer and won one of the nation's top awards for business and economic reporting while a reporter for Gannett News Service.

He eventually traded in his press card for a career in public relations and in 1987, launched Wilson Group Communications, a consulting firm specializing solely in crisis management communications and media training.

Each year, he conducts more than 100 workshops and seminars across the U.S. and has lectured on crisis management at various universities and professional associations. He's authored scores of articles on crisis management and media response training for magazines and newspapers and has been interviewed as a crisis management specialist for publications ranging from Modern Healthcare to The Wall Street Journal.
Some strike out of the blue, with little or no warning whatsoever. They explode. They burn. They can injure and even kill. They have short fuses and they burn quickly.
