Loni Reeder

Writer/Publicist and 'idea entrepreneur' Loni Reeder comes to us from the 'other Sunshine State' (California), but has strong family, friend, musician and 'heart ties' to Florida, and a focused, unwavering passion in helping the Florida Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame achieve its historic, artistic AND educational goals in molding and mentoring Florida's next generation of hit makers.

No stranger to endeavors being built from the ground up, Loni garnered some of her most valuable skills and an "MBA by fire" working in concert with noted entrepreneur, Atari Corporation/Chuck E. Cheese founder and the "Father of the Video Game Industry," Nolan Bushnell. Together, they co-founded uWink Inc. (which Loni also named), combining casual dining, family friendly entertainment and advanced technology for patrons to order from table-based touch screens.

Loni's eclectic background also includes working as an associate producer on numerous corporate/non-broadcast video and multimedia projects, a two year stint at NASA on the Pioneer Space Project and writing for the leisure, entertainment and video game industries and their publications. She also holds an advisory seat at the American Classic Arcade Museum in New Hampshire and for fun, is a voice-over actress, with several commercials and books-on-tape to her credit, including one with comic legend, Jonathan Winters.
