Media-Centric Multipreneur! I draw on 30 years of experience as a professional writer and TV/film producer to create engaging, effective stories for a range of client types including executives, high-level entrepreneurs and established entertainers; major magazines; and filmmakers. My print work has appeared in top national publications including People, Chicago Sun-Times and Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal and I’ve produced projects ranging from minute-long video packages for TV news stations and the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars to feature-length documentary and narrative films. Coverage runs the gamut from human interest to crime, music to medicine, small business trends to major breaking news. But my passion is in interviewing, writing and producing stories about people – particularly those who are PASSIONATE about their own endeavors, know their WHYs and have the BOLDNESS to take risks in business and in life to be successful.Via Stuart Media, LLC and its mavenmaker.bio brand, I offer written biographical stories including first-person LinkedIn summaries; 1- to 2-page magazine-style bios for use on websites and in media kits; and biographical videos shot at my Jacksonville Beach, FL studio or on-location and perfect for sharing online and as visual pitches to journalists who are constantly looking for engaging sources. Ebooks and blogging also are available.And via Legacy Talent Group, I help guide, develop and book emerging and veteran talent for commercials, print work, promotional and educational videos, films, television shows, etc. Outside of work, I serve on the boards of the Norman Studios Silent Film Museum, a nonprofit working to restore a studio where some the nation's first all African American-cast films were produced; and the Jacksonville Mayor's Advisory Commission on Motion Picture, Television and Commercial Production. Come nightfall, if I'm not on set or networking, I'm at home reading a history book or watching a great, gritty crime drama with a plate of pasta and a glass of Pinot Noir. And if there's a dog in my house (Spoiler: One lazy, goodest-boy-ever pittie) it's a rescue. #adoptdontshop
