Summary
During my years in the newspaper business, I worked as both a writer and editor, in
both sports and news. under tight deadline pressure.
As both sports editor at the Indiana (Pa.) Gazette and a copy editor/columnist at The
Times of Trenton, I made daily decisions on overall coverage and designed and
produced thousands of pages and special sections.
With the media industry changing, I have mastered the digital world. Web marketing, the
use of all Social Media platforms, video, TV and radio production have all moved to the
forefront with me at the center for several clients. Name the form of marketing,
promotion or media exposure and placement and I deliver a successful and diversified
campaign. I can professionally adapt my skill set to whatever is needed.
As I look at the media now, in my roles consulting front-offices of numerous sports
teams and business owners involved in a changing media world, accuracy is indeed the
most important facet of anything we do. I began my role as a Web Content Writer in
2000 in producing both Peterson's and www.nj.com's first on-line offerings. I have
extensively used Word Press.
