Editor/reporter/photographer/musician/Packers fan ...
Not necessarily in that order, but those are just some of the things I've done during my career - one that is long, but one that I feel is still going strong, and one whose vast pool of experience will benefit one lucky employer.
With a unique set of experiences in business, in education and coaching, and as a 27-year veteran of the print industry, I understand the importance of communications, branding, promotion and accountability. Though my experiences haven’t included the candlestick maker, I have worked for a butcher and baker, as well as in a junk yard while earning money to finish a college degree. I understand the changing business landscape, but also know that there is a place that will not only value me as an employee, but as an honest, accountable and devoted person.

In addition to being the staff photographer, all photographic assignments were handled in coordination with the managing editor. As photo editor, I was responsible for selection and placement of photographs within the newspaper. In addition, I was responsible for all special sections - this included handling all editorial copy, graphics, photographs and production of the many sections produced throughout the year. During this time, I also took on many of the duties associated with the management of the newspaper's content management system. This included the uploading of all news content to the website.

Editor
The Lakeland Times
Minocqua,WI
Start Date: January 2008 End Date: April 2013
When the managing editor resigned, I was asked by the publisher to step back into the news editor's position.

The Lakeland Times
Minocqua,WI
Start Date: April 2013 End Date: July 2015
I stepped away from the editor's desk in April 2013 to take on the responsibilities of the features editor. I remained in this position until July 2015. The reason for stepping away from the editor's desk was a planned and calculated move. I had been working with a talented and devoted employee to learn the job of editor and when we felt he was ready to resume that responsibility, I stepped away and into the features job. This position required me to write, photograph and produce the newspaper's feature section on a weekly basis. It also required coordination with the editor and other staff to complete the weekly duties on deadline each week. Incidentally, the final piece I produced for The Lakeland Times in July 2015, won a first place in the features division of the state newspaper association's annual contest. I left The Lakeland Times to accept the editor's position at the New Richmond News in New Richmond, WI. Expert/editor

Substitute teacher/coach

My wife and I relocated to Phillips when she accepted a teaching position with the school district. At the time, I was finishing my four-year degree in education and social studies by completing my student teaching assignment in Phillips.

I coached within a basketball program that earned state tournament berths three times in five seasons, taking second place in 2001. That team lost by two points to Cuba City in the state championship game. The nine months prior to accepting the editor's position with THE-BEE was spent working at a local hardware store.
