I am a Web guy. I write, edit, produce, develop, manage and code Web content.

I've worked as an online editor, writer and producer at a variety of outlets (publishing, film, TV, electronics, trade, tech, hyper-local, national/international ... you name it). Through all of these experiences, I've remained committed to the Web as a platform. I love the thing, and I love working to make it better.

My areas of interest/expertise include:

• Development of Web-friendly content (writing and editing)
• Audience development via social media (blogs, Twitter, social networks)
• Web production (HTML, CSS, Movable Type and other content management systems)
• Independent publishing
• Web journalism education
• Pontificating, analyzing and consulting on the future of publishing/journalism, digital distribution, Web content, and audience aggregation (Note: If you're in a rush, don't ever get me started on piracy and free content ...)

Etc ...

I have organized conferences, spoken on panels, and moderated sessions (and I actually enjoyed these activities).

I teach Web journalism courses at Emerson College and I'm a contributor on Poynter's E-Media Tidbits blog. I also run a number of independent Web sites and I'm owner of The Fodder Network. I hand-code my Web sites and I write and edit in a stripped-down text editor. People occasionally interview me or mention my work and others feel I've done a nice job.

At various points in my career I've tried to disconnect from the Web world, but I always come back. I've since concluded that I'm meant to do this stuff.

I'm always open to a conversation, so if you've got a question, a problem or an idea, drop me a line.
