Male, 31 years old

I am an experienced leader, engineer, and entrepreneur in digital publishing. While studying engineering and business at the University of Tennessee, I self-funded a local news startup by doing freelance web development and marketing. I also successfully pitched the business at several conferences and business plan competitions. After a year on my own, my company was absorbed by Uloop where I was put in charge of content creation, digital product management, social media, email, and several other marketing efforts. In , I left Uloop to join Packback Books as their lead PHP developer in Chicago to help them build software solutions that will revolutionize the digital textbook market. I love meeting new people, so if you ever want to brainstorm new business ideas, talk about partnerships, or just grab lunch, coffee, or a beer then let me know () - Specialties Group leadership, public speaking, written and oral communication, marketing, web design development, social media, project management, and technology entrepreneurship Programming Experience PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Wordpress, Drupal, Python, Django, Gamification, text analysis, data mining, Magento, AnswerHub, and Multi-author CMSs read more ...
