The Old-School Resumé:
I conduct social media training sessions of all sizes to help you bring your company into World 2.0 using social media and technology.
I present social media panels and presentations at a variety of conventions, as well as un-conventions like PodCamp3 Boston 2008.
I have ghostwritten ebooks and articles on ADHD, ADD, Death and Grieving, Psychology, Philosophy, MySpace, AdWords, AdSense, Affiliate Marketing, SEO Optimization, Blogging, Weddings, Pets, Business Tactics, Music, Reality Television Shows, 9/11, eBay, Headache Treatments, careers in the arts and much more.
I have also been tapped for several "blogs for hire" on a wide variety of subjects, including Profy and Blorge.
I completed fifteen "how-to" e-books for Style Career Publications, with more planned.
I completed a major editing project for a private party, encompassing a chapbook of their family history and compilations of several wills and other family heirloom documents.
For Brooks, I was responsible for all marketing material, research, graphic design, direct marketing, ad copy, and corporate identity publishing from design to distribution.
For Vortech Superchargers, I was responsible for retail catalog design, parts and product photography, editing and publication under multiple ongoing deadlines.
I have been responsible for catalog and material copy writing and design from conception to completion for such companies as WAHMOutsource, Writing Concepts, SafeWay Training and Transportation, NAHB, MCC / Peelers, AGC California Tri Counties, Takanaka USA, Barber and Barber, Inc., Cottage?Hospital System, Structnet Inc. and BrainPower, Inc., plus many more.
My career in publishing began with 2 years as a contributing reporter to the weekly financial newsletter Corporate Growth Report, followed by a promotion to Managing Editor of the same newsletter and its companion yearly sourcebook for an additional 2 years. During that time I oversaw two other reporters in addition to newsletter and sourcebook production, research and assisting with editing the company's fledgling comedy magazine.
