Description
I'm an entrepreneur who also happens to be a fiercely loyal team player. I don't define myself exclusively as either writer or editor, but both titles suit what I do. My "personal brand," if you want to call it that, embraces the common ground between media that are normally at odds -- namely, marketing and editorial, print and online. Clarity, simplicity, and transparency define my communication style, and I admire organizations that embrace the same virtues, especially when faced with organizational histories that don't.

Accomplishments
Highlights:
My biggest achievement to date was leading the relaunch and re-branding of an internationally distributed music and youth-culture magazine to the tune not only of a doubled circulation and quadrupled subscriber base, but also of an online community of readers (pre-MySpace boom) that continues to grow to this day.Companies I like:
Apple, Starbucks, Target, Virgin, Nintendo, The Onion, Blender, Men's Health, Wired

Responsibilities
I manage more than 10,000 content modules for a leading consumer website in the high-tech industry. My job requires me to engage complex, globally diverse cross-functional teams to develop product-specific content across varying lines of business, as well as to align teams to meet ongoing global launch deadlines. It's a big world, but I help to make it smaller.
