Newspaper Exp.
I started newspaper work in 1975 when I joined the Army and attended the U.S. Army Defense Information School of Journalism at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, IN. After graduating I was stationed in Germany and at 19 years old was assigned as editor of the base newspaper. I had no staff and put out the paper by myself, but I had my own office two doors down from the base commander and I was an editor! It was a great experience and I took the paper from a D rating to a B+ with my first edition. History and politics have been in my blood since I was a kid, but news has been my passion since the morning after the Watergate burglers were caught and even more since my first day as an editor.
After the Army I spent 9 months as editor of a small newspaper in Indiana that was basically an advertising rag, but I appreciated the opportunity to work as an editor and it gave me great commercial newspaper experience. It taught me the advertising side of the newspaper business. I understand the newspaper business totally and completely.
Magazine Exp.
I created, launched and was editor and publisher of two music magazines. Missing Persons Magazine was a small music magazine targeted to the NY, NJ, PA and CT music market and FLA ROCKS Magazine was the same model, but targeted to the south Florida music market. Both were challenging and rewarding experiences. With the magazines I learned how to recruit, develop and manage contributing writers and photographers and I was the entire advertising, circulation and distribution department. FLA ROCKS had a circulation of 25,000 copies per month. I understand the magazine business totally and completely.
Internet Exp.
In 1993 I launched DMW Internet Services, a web design and development shop. As part of DMW, I created two marketing websites, Malls.Com! and The Awesome Mall Of The Internet. Malls.Com! was a major e-commerce web portal, had 100's of retail clients, was consistently ranked in the top 5 in search results on ALL major search engines and had huge traffic. In 1993 The Awesome Mall was the fourth shopping website to be launched on the Internet and in 1996 was ranked #5 of the Top 25 Internet Shopping Sites by PC Computing Magazine. I sold The Awesome Mall in 1999 and I sold Malls.Com! in 2002.
With DMW Internet Services I created and designed websites, wrote ad copy and content for the web, did search engine optimization and placement and CGI scripting. I've designed almost 100 websites, had 100's of clients and have over 20 years experience designing and working with databases. I understand the Internet totally and completely.
