About
I’m one of those lucky people whose day job is an extension of his hobby: I’m a digital strategist.* What does that mean exactly? Let me quote my LinkedIn profile: “Blending expertise in online communications with a background in public affairs, I help clients to leverage the Internet to raise awareness, shape public opinion, motivate actions, and strengthen brand identity.”
Before entering the social media space, I honed my skills in traditional communications and as a reporter. My employers included the American Conservative Union, where I served as communications director; the Institute for Humane Studies, which appointed me a journalism fellow at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review; the Cato Institute, where I edited and pitched op-eds; and Time magazine, where I wrote for the magazine’s Notebook (now Briefing) section.
My writing has been published in the book, What We Think: Young Voters Speak Out (2004); on the social media blogs, TechPresident, K Street Cafe, and GovFresh; and in Politico and PRWeek. I am a graduate of Hamilton College, where I swam; won numerous awards for writing, speaking and research; and earned a BA in government and philosophy.
