As the creator, co-founder, and editor-in-chief of Metal Injection, I led a pioneering heavy metal website for 18 years. I successfully grew the site to become one of the top three hard rock and metal publications in North America, overseeing diverse responsibilities such as daily news updates, video and podcast hosting, and artist marketing decks, while simultaneously building the top hard rock advertising network, Blast Beat Network, overseeing all technical duties for the operation. I have also hosted hundreds of interviews with top rock acts and spent nearly 15 years producing podcasts. My ability to manage a dynamic team, cultivate relationships with industry leaders, and organically grow a social media audience to over 1.5 million fans (with no marketing budgets) demonstrates my skills in both creative and strategic content development.Having exited Metal Injection in 2022 (now operated by Sony Music Entertainment), I am now seeking the next great challenge in my career.In addition to my extensive experience in the music industry, I have a deep understanding of streaming platforms, artists, and industry dynamics. My love of music extends far beyond the confines of rock or guitar-based music, as I enjoy discovering new acts in hip-hop and electronica. My proven ability to balance creative and analytical thinking, manage editorial programs, and collaborate across teams positions me well to contribute to the success of any team.
