Advanced Manufacturing Media, publisher of Manufacturing Engineering magazine, is the premier brand for news and in-depth technical information about manufacturing in North America. We serve a sophisticated audience of engineers, manufacturing professionals and business leaders who operate in a competitive global environment. We are a division of SME.Hired to modernize the media division, I took a small portfolio of mostly print B2B and educational products and launched a contemporary multimedia portfolio. That included a new brand and Web site, AdvancedManufacturing.org, a range of new products, and a social media marketing program. These efforts have been successful in generating additional revenue and earning external recognition. In 2013, our Twitter feed @MfgEngNews was named the No. 2 manufacturing feed on the Web by Mashable.Operationally, I am responsible for the editorial and strategic direction of the enterprise, which now includes a 100,000-circulation monthly magazine, eNewsletters, industry yearbooks, webinars, custom publications and various social media accounts. I oversee a team of editors, collaborate with a creative team for marketing, design and brand projects, and manage relationships with contracted vendors and freelancers. Additionally, I serve as a communications consultant within SME, providing guidance in a variety of key areas. In 2012, I edited a white paper on manufacturing education that garnered national media attention (Fox Business). I’ve also scored national (CNBC) media placements for some of our members and partner organizations. The Huffington Post also carries my columns after they appear on AdvancedManufacturing.org.

I was responsible for the strategic planning and editing of all business coverage. My 12-person team covered everything from GM, Ford and Chrysler to parts suppliers, business policy, downtown development, real estate, health care and personal finance, among other topics. I also conceived of and launched an auto-specific news brand, freepautos, as well as the inaugural “Detroit Free Press Automotive Leadership Awards,” a recognition program honoring global auto leaders for achievements in a variety of areas, such as technology, manufacturing, education, retailing, and labor relations. I wrote a regular column, and represented The Detroit Free Press in interviews with prominent media, including NPR, the BBC, CNBC and Fox Business.

In this role, I was responsible for the strategic planning and hands-on editing of all automotive coverage for Michigan’s largest news organization. I supervised and edited a team of reporters who covered GM, Ford, Chrysler, foreign automakers and parts suppliers.During my tenure, we covered with distinction the 2008-2009 financial crisis, which ravaged the Michigan economy and sent two of the Detroit Three automakers into bankruptcy.

I started at Michigan’s largest daily covering the 2003 labor negotiations between the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and the Detroit Three automakers. In that capacity, I broke stories, regularly wrote for Page One and established myself as one of Detroit’s premier automotive reporters. I wrote about a variety of complex business topics for a mainstream audience. That included financing, research and development, manufacturing, marketing, retailing, labor relations, product regulation, trade policies and general consumer trends, among other topics. To excel in this role, I gained the confidence of a variety of sources, including workers on the factory floor, car dealers across America and high-ranking company officials.

I started at this major metropolitan newspaper on the health care beat and quickly established myself as one of the most valued reporters on staff, winning a variety of awards. In December 2002, I was promoted to the automotive beat, one of the newspapers top reporting jobs.

This position was an important transitional period in my career. Quality mentoring at this mid-sized daily helped me to become a more sophisticated reporter and writer. I mastered my story-telling techniques, improved my computer-assisted reporting skills and delivered in-depth, award-winning news reports.

In the summer of 1994, I worked at this small daily newspaper as an intern. I quickly assumed the workload of a veteran reporter and was offered a full-time position. After graduation, I returned to the Daily Mail, where I rotated through a series of beats — police, city-county and courts — spending about a year in each assignment.

During my last semester at West Virginia University, I managed the student newspaper, which boasted a readership of 30,000 and a staff of 30 reporters. During my tenure, the Princeton Review recognized the Athenaeum as the 10th “Most Read College Newspaper in the Country.”
