I’m a communications and marketing specialist with 8 years of communications management experience, as well as experience in internal and external communication, and project management. In addition to this, I have over 10 years of graphic design and marketing experience. I have experience in cross-platform development and communication and have worked to develop strategies that help achieve marketing and communication goals. Over the last 5 years, I've worked in large company environments and have had to develop strategies that are effective for large communities and massive audiences. I've led both small staff teams and large volunteer teams. I've also worked on director and executive boards as well as hand-in-hand with executive leadership for special communication projects and even with crisis management.I am proficient in most social media platforms and have developed strategies and plans for growth and engagement on these platforms, including ad development and placement, and engagement strategies. I am skilled in graphic design, (I currently use Adobe Platforms including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and others) photography, videography, editing, and web management. I also work well with team management and development, training, and teaching seminars. I've worked a lot with executive leadership to help develop communication strategies for seminars, speeches, and presentations.When I’m not on the job, I enjoy writing and singing music with my wife and playing basketball or football with my four boys. My wife and I are music recording artists and have traveled extensively to perform and write music.
