Experience
The following are some applicable positions which I have held over the previous 25 years. This list is not all-inclusive, please download full resume and cover letter for more detailed analysis of my work history. Trust me when I say that it is eclectic!
My path started in the US Air Force as an Intelligence Analyst. I have held many business positions in loss prevention, risk mitigation and management, but there has always been a yearning keeping me in a creative secondary position. Because I spent so much time moonlighting, I am an asset to any company needing a fully capable creative who also knows the needs of a business from P&L to leadership and project management.
Take a look at my abbreviated creative resume and let's talk about your project or company and how I can help you to meet your goals, build quality content and lead your team to success!
