My family has a long history of photography. Over one-hundred years to be exact. I grew up in the photography business and learned the skills from two master photographers. I have photographed everything from precious newborns to rock stars. My portfolio includes classic portraiture, commercial photography, and fine art.
I am passionate about strategic communications. I love to create communication plans with properly aligned objectives, goals and strategies that exceed expectations and creates new opportunities.
In addition, my experience in photography and interactive design makes me a rare find that can not only write the press release; I can shoot the photos, design the site, and send a mass email - then handle the media.
I am a proud "survivor" of the UAB's public relations program which was the top PR program from over 25 years and continues to be a leader among its peers.
When Web sites became popular in the 90s I was immediately hooked. Now I could use all of the areas I am passionate about and help people communicate in real time.
I have been designing for the Web since the early 90s and have kept pace with all of its changes and adaptations. I am familiar with all industry standard web languages (code), software and search engine optimization techniques.
However, my experience in the area is much deeper. I also have experience in producing videos and streaming media; creating CD-ROMs and DVDs; designing interactive Flash applications and much more!
