As the first-ever Marketing Coordinator for Loft Advisors (a division of First Dakota National Bank), I'm helping to build out a marketing foundation that will ultimately elevate the Loft brand in our region.

I write creative, effective copy for a wide array of industries and clients. From traditional marketing and media outlets (print, radio, TV, direct mail) to web content, social media and online strategy, I focus on providing clients with writing that shows their company's unique personality while still maintaining a professional, results-driven emphasis.Along with taking on part-time projects, I most recently worked under contract with deep group in Springfield, Missouri, copywriting for national clients including Kerry Beverages, Nestle's line of Stouffer's products, Lamb Weston, Borden Dairy and more. I left in order to walk across the country with my wife, but had a wonderful time working with deep.

I led our Communication Team at Central Church as we equipped our congregation to share the Gospel of Christ through effective internal and external communication efforts. I was privileged to lead a team that grew from a lone part-time graphic designer to a full-time graphic designer, a part-time graphic designer, a full-time video producer, a part-time video producer, a full-time social media coordinator, and a handful of interns. During my time at Central, our church grew from around 1,800 attendees per weekend to around 3,000-3,200 attendees per weekend. This growth required increased communication efforts at an increasingly higher level of excellence. From weekly newsletters and video concepts/scripts to church curriculum packages and website overhauls, I had an opportunity to refine my project management skills—and our team produced work that I'd be proud to put up against anyone else's in the country, be it church or creative agency.Our goal was to provide quality communication and marketing materials that represented our church well and helped our attendees share the love of Jesus with their relational worlds, which I believed we accomplished on a weekly (and in some cases, daily) basis.

I worked part-time for Passenger to help with their online strategy and marketing efforts, including social media content, blog content, and other creative efforts and activities. I would have helped with filming, but, simply put, I'm really bad at videography work, so it was better to let the rest of the guys do that stuff.

From June of 2012 to November of 2013, I walked across the United States with my wife, Lindsie, with a goal of teaching ourselves to rely on God for our care and provision. The journey was beyond incredible and deeply influenced/reinforced our spiritual convictions. We experienced God in action, from prayers answered in real time to safety and provision that couldn't have come from any other source.

In order to help make the OTA Sessions happen successfully for four years, I worked closely with Hugh Weber (the event's founder) to create and manage content for the various OTA Sessions web presences, as well as working relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth day-of event. From the actual OTA Sessions website to its social networking outlets, as well as content such as press releases to be released to the media, my responsibilities focused on producing precision work and fast results. I also spent a substantial amount of time assisting Weber with any other facets of the event in which my services were needed. From day-to-day preparations leading up to the OTA Sessions to serving as the second-in-command during the event itself, my responsibilities covered a wide--but challenging and rewarding--spectrum.

As the temporary Web Content Creator and Editor for Evangel, I basically jumped right in as both an online content strategist and a traditional copywriter, putting to good use my marketing and advertising knowledge to help improve Evangel's general marketing efforts. Since the original Web Content Editor was leaving quickly to go on maternity leave, there wasn't much time to get my feet set, which made the experience that much more exciting.Some of my work in this position included:-Creating and maintaining copy and news content for Evangel University’s website, which is aimed at a variety of audiences ranging from potential students to current students, parents to alumni, and more.-Revising and rewriting content for an entirely redesigned website which launched in April of 2012.-Writing copy for a wide variety of traditional marketing and recruitment projects, including print pieces, radio spots, video scripts, email blasts, website content and more.All in all, my short experience at Evangel was exciting, educational and just flat-out fun.

As Captain Content for ADwërks, Inc. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, I used my superpowers to create compelling content, battle the evil forces of unoriginality and routine, and make sure I saved the day for clients whenever possible.On a day to day basis, my responsibilities ranged from traditional copywriting for print, outdoor and broadcast to web and social media strategy for clients. During my time at ADwërks, I'd write blog posts for the agency blog, brainstorm and provide account strategy for various clients and write a project proposal or marketing plan for a new client. And that was on a slow day.I also tried (with debatable success) to make the ADwërks crew laugh from time to time.
