Career Highlights It's been three months since I went to "work" and dealt with an employer. I've been marketing with my brother's companies and all is well. Thursday, September 24, 2009 Decided enough was enough and left employer to chase my dreams and make it happen. I'm not getting any younger and I have things to do before I die! Friday, June 5, 2009 Spent a lot of years rather unhappilly working at jobs I didn't like much because I was a "single dad with a mortgage." Friday, June 5, 2009 Got hired by a client and ended a fruitful freelance career. A regular paycheck was a good thing, as was the office and new PC. Wednesday, March 20, 2002 Picked up three clients, resulting in full-time work without an employer. There is $$$ stress, but the freedom is cool. An irony is that all those sites are now gone. Wednesday, October 15, 2001 Finished art school and got hired immediately by a bunch of digital art firms to work on CD-Rom projects. When the internet happened, I was right there building interfaces. Launched some of my own sites as well. Friday, June 9, 1995 Worked with lots of newspapers as an editor and staff writer after completing English, Art History and Journalism degrees. My "beat" was cultural and did a lot of art show, concert and music reviews. Sunday, August 21, 1988

Where and Who I've Worked With Schools My educational background is Journalism and Art History.
