Experience

My print experience is extensive, having been the print production manger handling Selecciones (Spanish Reader's Digest) for Latin America, a sales rep and sales manager for various NW print and prepress firms, specializing in color printing mostly serving the ad agency and graphic design market. I have helped companies like CC Filson and Sur La Table get their mail order business started. I project managed the Pacific Science Center's outreach program for PBS's "Origins" series, requiring everything from teaching manuals and props to DVD replication, writing/editing and graphic design. Management experience includes the purchasing, reorganizing and selling a vitamin/OTC drug re-packaging/distribution business, print sales management and having my own print brokerage firm, as well as having been a director of sales for a start-up data center. Hence, I find technology and print blend well to increase marketing outreach efforts, and my background helps companies not waste their marketing budgets.
