I am a consultant, strategic advisor and freelance writer/editor serving the media/entertainment, technology and food/lifestyle industries. With nearly 20 years’ experience as a journalist and trade association executive, I am now making my diverse skill set available to startup companies and established market leaders alike in a wide variety of roles.

I’m currently working with NARM’s digitalmusic.org group as the organization’s community manager, where I oversee the activities of various digital music industry workgroups and conduct membership outreach activities.

Most recently I spent seven years as the digital media editor for Billboard magazine, where in addition to covering the intersection of media and technology for print and web properties, I also produced several successful conferences convening the leaders in the media, developer and investing communities.

Previously I spent nearly a decade in the mobile industry as both an editor at RCR Wireless News and as Asst. VP of Wireless Internet Development and CTIA–The Wireless Association.

Additionally, I’m a home cook, gardener and lifelong skier… all passions I’m exploring further as a freelance writer. Where possible, I’d like to merge my digital/mobile content expertise to these topics as well.

The following are just a few examples of the value I can bring to your organization. To discuss any of them, or to brainstorm additional opportunities, please contact me:
