About Me

I grew up in Iowa, developing a midwestern work ethic and values. In high school I realized I 
wanted to move important information from those that have it to those that need it, and I've 
been doing it ever since. My ideal is to disseminate information completely and accurately, as 
widely as possible, as quickly as possible. With our current changing technologies these 
opportunities continue to become greater and more rewarding.
 
I graduated from the University of Iowa and went to work with the the journal "Endocrinology".  
Three years later I moved to Los Angeles and landed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, working on books, 
manuscripts and slide presentations. After that I was Managing Editor of the journal "Neurosurgery" for 
8 years, then spent a year as Managing Editor of an online radiology journal called "JRAD". 
 
I've served in editorial, developmental and management roles for 4 medical content websites and companies 
which fell prey to the dotcom bust, and the financial difficulties of putting medical content online opened the way 
for me to move into a freelance career, which has included working for a number of clients, and two 
Managing Editor appointments, one with Retina Times which lasted 7 years, and the other an
ongoing appointment with Neurosurgic.com.
 
Focusing much of my career on the Internet has made life very interesting, and the resulting experiences 
have been amazing. I've managed activities and planned strategies for new and developing web portals, 
arranged and conducted live chats, developed online member communities, planned and 
implemented marketing campaigns, and strategized company growth and direction, as well as filled dozens 
of pages with content.
 
I've done a world of editing, organizing, planning, and following through. I've worked with doctors, educators, 
business people, salespeople, marketing people, lots of people. I love my job, and you'll love my work.
