raad cawthon

A lover of good books, great food and cheap wine, Raad joined EW Bullock in 2001 after a two-decade sabbatical from the City of Five Flags.

In the late '70s and early '80s Raad was a reporter with the Pensacola Journal and the now-defunct Pensacola News. He covered local government before leaving to eventually work with several major newspapers, including The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Over the course of his almost 25 year journalism career he won awards including a Sigma Delta Chi reporting award, several awards from the Associated Press, and in-house awards with Gannett Newspapers. Better yet, he got to cover some of the best of sports: the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, NASCAR, the Atlanta Braves, Southeastern college football and major golf tournaments, including The Masters.

Raad, who holds a Bachelor of Arts in journalism degree from the University of Georgia, focuses on public relations and communications, including crisis management, media training, consulting and copywriting.

He and his photographer wife, Karena, reside in East Hill.
