Who am I?

I have worked in the general field of media arts for 20 years in nearly every capacity and environment – from small to large agencies, to retail, and even your local newspaper.

I hail from the first generation to be raised predominantly around computers. I was an active participant in the desktop publishing revolution and the dot-com era. I am now connected through every major social media outlet. I have found myself on the binary side of the digital divide.

I have:

Managed, coordinated, and directed both in-house contract labor teams and third-party overseas outsourced labor teams of 1 to 25 people.

Managed entire internet/intranet/interactive projects, including: strategy, copy, information architecture/wireframes, user interface design, graphic design, front-end development, rich media development and integration, e-commerce integration, social media integration, widget development, project management/delivery, launch, seo/sem, banner ads, vertical ad networks, media buys, usability, and tracking/analytics.

Created and managed entire off-line traditional media advertising campaigns, including: strategy/concepts, copy, photography, design, layout, pre-press, press-checks, media buys, mailings, variable data, and analytics/roi calculation.

Additionally in my diverse background,

I have owned or managed businesses, installed and administered computer networks, been published in many magazines, photographed and travelled with rock stars, designed and built furniture by hand, remodelled a house, and provided pro-bono services to charitable organizations.
