Stan Charles
 Mr. Charles is best known for his 20-plus years as sports talk radio's Stan "The Fan." He began as a radio intern in 1981 and parlayed his passion for sports, baseball in particular, to become a well-known and respected sports commentator.

Starting in the media at the relatively -ate age of 31, Mr. Charles’ career path diverged from that of the typical radio personality. In 1989, Mr. Charles launched Tri-Stan Productions, Inc., a sports marketing company he successfully ran for 13 years. Tri-Stan purchased air time from local radio and television stations and produced the various programs Stan hosted. In addition to his on-air responsibilities, Mr. Charles also marketed these programs and sold the advertising inventory.

Mr. Charles was a sports columnist for five years from 1985-1990 for Baltimore City Paper. He also contributed to Outside Pitch and Sidelines, two local sports publications covering the Orioles and Ravens, respectively.

In his position as founder and publisher of PressBox, Mr. Charles restarted his broadcast career as host of PressBox LIVE, the company's weekly radio program heard on WJFK, the ESPN affiliate. He also writes a monthly column for the paper as well in between issue online, and oversees the editorial content for the paper and the Web site. In addition, he focuses on creating and improving the paper’s circulation, helping to facilitate sales, and market the entire company.

John Coulson
Serving as vice president of sales and marketing, John Coulson is a native Baltimorean, a huge Ravens fan and a lifelong lacrosse fan. He spent more than 20 years holding various sales and management positions in the radio industry. From 1995–2006 he worked with CBS Radio (Infinity Broadcasting) as a national sales manager, general sales manager and as the sports sales manager for the Ravens Radio Network, WJFK-AM radio and the Maryland Terrapins Radio Network.
