Editor of Orlando Magic and Milwaukee Bucks microsites, part of SI’s Fan Nation kingdom of sports websites. I am directing several reporters in beat coverage of the two NBA teams.

Editor, writer, project manager.

Built from scratch a network of journalists to write, film, photograph and illustrate stories of Florida destinations and experiences; and have distributed those stories on multiple platforms.The strategic goal of this storytelling is to build domestic and international awareness – often among specifically targeted audiences -- and drive consumer demand for the Florida vacation product.

Day-to-day editor of Tampa Bay's leading source for news and information (3.5-million monthly unique visitors -- Omniture). Branding trivia: Contributed “Pants on Fire” to PolitiFact.com taxonomy.Teachable moment: Shepherded legacy newsroom into web-first publishing. Learned that large culture change requires identifying and enlisting the innovators on staff who can help turn the ship.

Charter editor of five hyperlocal news sections that, according to readership surveys, would become the most popular and intensely read in the Times. These editions have informed Pinellas County communities during times of strife (the 1996 riots prompted by the police killing of a black man) and prosperity (a building boom in downtown St.Petersburg).Teachable moment: A critical life choice set me on a path of recognition and acceptance of my own shortcomings and the willingness and courage to learn new skills. The gift of insight allows me to be of service to my colleagues and loved ones.

Assignment editor for 11 reporters with additional oversight of sports section’s visual design. Regularly named a top 10 sports section in the country by the Associated Press.
