The Resident Oddball Resume…kinda.
In a nutshell…
The “fastest three minutes in television“…
Your “headline news“….
Here’s an overview of my work experience, accomplishments, highlights, and such.
I’ve spent nearly a decade as an Audio Engineer, recording, mixing, and producing song demos, advertising jingles, and full-length CDs for clients all over the country (a handful of them from other parts of the world). Operating mostly in a digital multi-track recording studio on Nashville’s Music Row, I have worked with some of the most talented singers, songwriters, and musicians. I witnessed and experienced pure creativity blossoming day in and day out, amidst intense (but always fun) project collaboration.
My career as a Graphic Designer began during this time. Recording artists who completed their CDs with us usually would also need artwork, inserts, traycards, etc. to then take to a replication service. I had also teamed up with the fine folks at American Songwriter Magazine, located just down the Row, assisting them with the layout of their bi-monthly issues. Since then, I’ve continued to work with the former publisher of Songwriter. We currently design, manage, and produce two quarterly publications — The Western Way (since 2002) and Monty Roberts’ Join-Up Journal (since 2006).
More recently I’ve tapped into my uber-geek love of computers, internet, and code, serving as a Business Solutions Architect. Both independently and for major corporations, I have consulted on a variety of web-based applications, in industries such as health insurance, employee recruiting, music, and entertainment. I work closely with both the application builders and the end-users to transform a client’s desired functionality into coded reality. I oversee and coordinate system design, development, testing, implementation, and technical support, whether it’s a simple website or a fully integrated, multi-function tool.
As you can see, I’ve had quite the oddball career. But I wouldn’t want it any other way.
