Resume
Introduction
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to visit. This website serves as a portfolio of some of my work and interests, so please take some time to look around!. A downloadable PDF version of this resume is available here. I appreciate your consideration.

I have extensive experience in the music, film, advertising, and marketing industries since 1995, including graphic design, website design, development & management, social media content creation & community management. In the mid 2000's I also became involved with digital asset management system design & implementation, which I have done concurrent with my creative work.

Over the span of my career I have worked for large, multinational corporations and small independent businesses as an independent contractor, department leader as well as a team member. I have a broad understanding of varying creative, technical, and organizational needs. I consider myself a life-long learner who is always looking to expand my knowledge and technical & creative skill sets. I try to be a clear, concise communicator as well as a good listener and self-starter who knows when to ask questions and when to put my head down and get a job done with the information and direction I have in hand.

I feel the greatest sense of satisfaction from my work when I see positive outcomes for the organization, team, or individual that has tasked me with a job and relying on me to get it done. Conversely, when I am operating in a leadership or management position, I respect the time, efforts, and talents of my team members and do everything possible to set them up for success, as I believe their performance is a reflection upon how well I'm doing my job.
