CollapseResponsibilities

I've worked 25 years in the legal field as a "text editor," many as department supervisor. I have been at my current position with O'Melveny & Myers LLP, an international law firm, since 2001. I attended film school, have written 9 screenplays, and am currently writing a book on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Writing is my passion and I've always thought I should get into advertising because of quick wit, wordsmith abilities, and good sense of humor. I am the hardest working guy you will ever meet, always going above & beyond expectations in order to get the job done and beat the deadline. As a member of O'Melveny's Text Editing Task Force, I participated in discussions involving future use of emerging technologies, as well as designing a Powerpoint slideshow presentation for new attorneys on how to avoid document disaster. I have always been the "go-to" guy and am looking to channel my energies in a more creative capacity before I die here like Bartleby the Scrivner. Egad!
