Paul Cartellone
Ratings and Directory Guru
Paul "Poppa", "Gator", Anthony Cartellone started his radio career in high school. He grew up in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame City of Cleveland Ohio listening to WIXY 1260 and later The Buzzard-WMMS. After completing four years at Ohio University, working at the All Campus Radio Network (as Poppa Wolf) and later WXTQ he ventured into commercial at WIBZ in Pakersburg, WVA. After a few years, he moved back to Cleveland and worked at News Talk WERE, Cleveland where he produced the Morton Downey Jr Show. Paul made Mort good enough to land a job at WMAQ (and you made have seen the Morton Downey Jr Show On TV). Paul wanted to program radio stations and so he set out on a journey that would take him to thriving metropolises such as East Liverpool, OH, Sandusky, OH and his first PD gig in Beckley, West Virginia.
Tired of the weather of the Midwest he was promised a job in Orlando, FL. His first break in a major market and a warmer climate. Unfortunately, that job never materialized. From Orlando he moved to Ft Myers for a few years even Daytona beach and back to Orlando where he worked at WHTQ. And then one night while dialing around the FM dial, he heard a friend of his whom he worked with while at WGCL, Bumper Morgan announce "We're just a small band of renegades terrorizing Tampa Bay, Power 93-The Power Pig. " He called Bumper who told him about the station and he said to call Marc Chase. And the rest as they say is history. "Working at the Power Pig is one of the most memorable rides I've ever had in radio."
Next an opportunity to move to California presented itself and Paul was on his way to see "Swimming Pools, Movie Stars". He was offered a position as Editor of Album Networks' Yellow Pages Of Rock. The Yellow Pages Of Rock was a printed predecessor of what is now the All Access Industry Directory. The Directory Guru is not only responsible for updating the Directory but also maintains the Arbitron section. Paul's spare time is spent riding his Harley Davidson not only through the canyons and valleys from Burbank to Malibu but wherever his motorcycle takes him.

Paul Colbert
Account Executive
After recovering from middle school conflict with Darryl Strawberry ("He stole my handball."), Paul Colbert pulled himself out of the adversity to enjoy a rewarding career. First, he turned an Internship at KMGG (Magic 106)/L.A. into an on air stint with the late Robert W. Morgan's morning show. Then, after helping establish KPWR (Power 106)/L.A. from day 1, Paul moved on to a stint working with Casey Kasem on "American Top 40" ("I was in charge of numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 & 42"). From there, Paul moved on to Radio & Records, working just about every job in the building from Editorial to Sales.
While doing time at R&R, Paul gained semi-local notoriety by being the guy standing behind the TV reporter saying O.J. had been arrested ("I got on 2 TV channels.") Concurrently, Paul established himself as an accomplished Voiceover performer in commercials, movie trailers, TV shows, and most notably as an Eddie Murphy soundalike ("Eddie matched my 'Shrek' guide vocals almost to the syllable"). Paul joined All Access in 2004, handling the Voiceover/Imaging dept. as well as Record Industry and Radio Sales.

Doug LaGambina
Editor, Rock Promotion
Doug was born on the east coast in Brooklyn, NY and started his 18-year music industry career as PD and GM of his college radio station WNHU at the University of New Haven, CT where he received a BS in Communications and gave a lot of BS right back. After a loud and fast lifestyle on the streets of New York City at labels like TVT and Nettwerk Records, Doug was lured to the west coast to head up the Alternative promotion department at Revolution/Giant Records. After a couple of stops along the way he ended up as VP Promotion at Immortal records where he further solidified his relationships at the rock radio formats before joining All Access as the Rock Editor/Head of Rock Promotion.
Possessing an eclectic appetite for all music, you'll be as likely to find him. at the Hollywood Bowl for a Dave Brubeck show as you would in a moshpit at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. "My first gig in college promotion required me to work both Aimee Mann and The Rollins Band" Doug says. "so my tastes are all over the map". In the end Doug's heart is with the dark underbelly of the Rock world and it broke when they closed CBGB's in his old stomping ground.
Doug and his wife of five years Kathleen, recently had a baby girl, Siena. She can often be seen in her CBGB's pajamas falling asleep to Miles Davis while daddy listens to Iggy and The Stooges on his headphones making his famous meatballs and sauce. Confusing, yes, but a good time. Doug hopes to retire to the Napa Valley one day, make some wine and maybe pick up the drum sticks again and start a 90's cover band called Soundvineyard.

Mike Paulsen
Senior Web Developer
Mike Paulsen joined the All Access Web team in 2011 as Senior Web Developer. He considers himself something of a swiss army knife when it comes to coding, databases, and web design -- having worked in many platforms and technologies over the years.
Raised just outside the Mile High City of Denver, Mike was weaned on AOR and Modern Rock radio in the '70s and '80s. After spending one year at USC studying architecture, he decided that all nighters drafting by hand wasn't for him and transferred to the more laid back University of New Mexico in Albuquerque where he completed his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science in 1991.
Mike is an avid music listener with eclectic tastes and takes great pleasure in demonstrating to friends and family over 30 who have given up on new music the error of their ways. For him, music today is as vibrant as it's ever been, even if he has a nostalgic soft spot for his '80s alternative and new wave! You will find him plugged in -- tuned in to his iPod -- computer turned on at any given moment. He enjoys keeping up with the latest internet trends, especially when it comes to social networking and cloud computing and is, not surprisingly, a huge proponent of open source technology.
In his spare time, Mike enjoys watching movies at home, visiting art museums, reading up on science and technology, forever honing his satirical wit, and touring the wineries of California's central coast. Mike currently lives in Southern California with his wife and their two Boston terriers.
