  • Summary:
    I am a social media trainer, speaker and guide who specializes in the world of Web 2.0, social media, web start ups and technology to build brands and personal presence. In addition to founding and running Uptown Uncorked, I write for Mashable and Blorge among other sites. I am a member of Media Makers, Social Media Club and other social media groups. I am active in the Web 2.0 community in the Boston area.

    I have written ebooks, press releases, articles on ADHD, ADD, Death and Grieving, Psychology, Philosophy, MySpace, AdWords, AdSense, Affiliate Marketing, SEO Optimization, Blogging, Weddings, Pets, Business Tactics, Music, Reality Television Shows, 9/11, eBay, Headache Treatments, careers in the arts and more.

    I wrote 15 'how-to' e-books for Style Career Publications on a variety of style and arts careers.

    I completed a major editing project for a private party: a chapbook of their family history and compilations of several wills and other family heirloom documents.

    For Brooks, I handled all marketing material, research, graphic design, direct marketing, ad copy, and corporate identity publishing from design to distribution.

    For Vortech Superchargers, I handled retail catalog design, parts and product photography, marketing copy, editing and publication under multiple ongoing deadlines.

    I have been responsible for catalog and material copy writing and design from conception to completion for such companies as WAHMOutsource, Writing Concepts, SafeWay Training and Transportation, NAHB, MCC / Peelers, AGC California Tri Counties, Takanaka USA, Barber & Barber, Inc., Cottage Hospital System, Structnet, Inc. and BrainPower, Inc., to name a few.

    My career in publishing began with 2 years as a contributing reporter to the weekly financial newsletter Corporate Growth Report, followed by a promotion to Managing Editor of the same newsletter and its companion yearly sourcebook for an additional 2 years. During that time I oversaw two other reporters in addition to newsletter and sourcebook production, research and editing the company's fledgling comedy magazine.
