My passion is to work for a purpose: to sell, teach, entertain, influence, inform. I have a creative, right brain way of "getting it," be “it” ideas, products, services, technology... or that thing you do. In a variety of communication and media roles, and freelance work, I've worked on projects for large publishers and corporations, music labels, small businesses, the military, and individual professionals. As a writer and editor (and photographer, page designer, and more) for newspapers, I covered topics from community events and nonprofit fund-raising events, to murder and scandals on the outskirts of the big city. As a professional creative type with a get-it-done attitude, I had significant roles in launching three media businesses, one a daily print and online news provider in a top-20 market. I’ve had professional relationships with many marketing & communications firms, as a provider and customer of business & news media. I’ve managed publications, worked in PR and marketing, and a bunch of other stuff. I'd love to hear from you, here on LinkedIn, on Twitter, Instagram, by phone, or email.
