In May of 2020 I joined former Screen Junkies film critic and producer Dan Murrell as he embarked on his new adventure creating "Dan Murrell Movies" on YouTube and its accompanying Patreon site. I produced and hosted a show twice a month exclusively for his Patreon subscribers called "Dan Decides...". Each episode I presented Dan and his partner Mara with a movie "puzzle" to solve like ranking all the Star Wars films, deciding who was the best male action star of the 1990's (it was Keanu), and picking the best Sports Comedy, football bracket style! When not producing "Dan Decides..." by researching films, booking guests, writing questions, and preparing topics for the show, I can be found on Dan's Discord channel as a community manager and moderator. Here, I engage with his Patrons to include them in brand content they receive each month as part of their paid subscription. This includes moderating interactive content and movie games for the channel.Please note that "Dan Decides..." is exclusive content for his Patreon monthly subscribers, and is not currently available to the general public. However, a sample show can be found below.

Their team of experienced digital retail, brand, and ex-Amazon professionals provided strategic consulting, marketplace management, marketing, and analytics services and technologies to leading consumer brands to grow long-term revenue and profitability.

Co-Founded "The T.U.F.F. Channel" on YouTube with five other creators in April 2016.The T.U.F.F. Channel was created as an homage to the Screen Junkies channel and one of their flagship shows "Movie Fights". Introducing a new, fan-made format called "Fan Friction", online movie fans would gather and debate nerdy movie topics with the help of celebrity guests and well-known internet content creators.Producer/Host - Fan FrictionI scheduled and booked all guests, managed the social media accounts, wrote the questions for the show, and judged the debates as they aired live on YouTube. This involved intense social presence, particularly on Twitter. I interacted with our fans and those of the Screen Junkies channel on a personal level, as well as other content creators working in similar creative spaces. This level of support and cross promotion opened the doorway for our own collaborations, and generated new and interesting guests appearances important to our audience.

I returned to Harbor Partners for a brief short term contract to help with their database migration to a new version of Zoho Recruit. I prepared all their data for migration (candidate, contact, and client data), executed the transfer to the new database, and validated data had transferred properly. Once the data transfer was verified, I set up the new UI for the recruiters to easily access their data within the new interface.Additionally, I reworked their company job board based on requirements gathering from the lead recruiter, using Zoho Recruit's integrated website tools. The board highlights open positions Harbor Partners is looking to fill and allows candidates to apply for positions right from the website. I connected all of the candidate fields directly to the database to add them directly to the database and link them to relevant job openings.

Recruited by JoMo Rising, an e-Learning mobile game development company, to advise on user interface, user experience, intranet communications, game design, and player reward schemes for a job seeking and mobile recruiting mobile game currently in development. I had also been contracted to develop complex Excel formulas for a non-mobile beta version of the game workflow.

Using SQL Server Management Studio to audit a DBA moveBased on my years of database experience I am currently auditing the transfer of data from an old database to a new one. If something didn't make it, I'm the one who takes the error data and validates it against the queries in SSMS to figure out where the errors are and report a fix to the technology team. I also work with Excel to analyze the data stream for errors and compare the old data with the new to ensure an error-free transmission.

I picked up where I left off during the 06-07 holiday season as a Special Order Coordinator, but within a couple of months started contributing wherever I was needed as they recognized a greater applicability of my skills to planning, buying and controlling inventory. By the following year I was assisting with sales reporting and design for the website. Most notably, however, I created an Access database of every sku and multiple SQL queries to generate the data that helped BC Sports evaluate their performance in ways they never could before.

Because of the Electronics Boutique connection, many EB Games alumni were pulled in to BC Sports after the acquisition, as was I when they needed some assistance with their holiday season.

Having achieved distinction in many facets of retail management, I aspired to help the corporate office better manage the back-office functions that impact profits. As my track record indicates by now, I was able to make an impact by creating systems that made data more accessible and easy to interpret. My prior storefront experience was invaluable to this process because I could better understand the relevance of the data. Trends that both positively and negatively impacted profits were more transparent and both corporate and store management could more quickly devise strategies to minimize cost and loss and maximize sales and efficiencies.

I was a frequent visitor to the Granite Run store when I worked at the mall and developed a rapport with the District Manager. In 1997 he offered me a position, but I was really thriving at Waldenbooks and saw a path to management there. Three years later the DM explained the growth potential with EB Games and some issues that I was sure I could correct. As Assistant Manager, I did just that. In under a year he had promoted me to manage the Berkshire Mall location and I led them to reach unprecedented sales.

Throughout my time with Citizens Bank I was promoted from a sales position to manage larger and larger full-service retail locations. At one time I even managed two locations simultaneously. I earned this expansion of scope and responsibility by effectively leading my teams to provide utmost customer care. Instead of instructing, I demonstrated how to proactively evaluate our customers’ accounts for cues that indicate our services would help them better manage their assets and they gave us excellent ratings in return.
