Objective

To find a position calling for technical skills (writing, multimedia

Experience / Qualifications

From the late 90s to the early 00s, I maintained parallel careers as a copy

writer/journalist focusing on lifestyle marketing, a multimedia

producer/web designer specializing in audio (for clients including 3M,

Mitsubishi, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, and David Copperfield), and an

independent record label owner. In these capacities, I gained an

appreciation for the Internet's power as a sales and marketing tool, while

also witnessing the negative effects of online piracy. As revenues for the

music and newspaper industries declined, I took a full-time position

developing online content for an educational textbook company, beginning as

a multimedia specialist, overseeing the production of audiobooks, then

eventually moving up to project management and instructional design,

dealing with all forms of online media.
