I am a copy editor.

The last two years of my life have been spent working for The Register-Guard sports department as a copy editor and paginator. In addition to laying out the daily sports section, I am the “web guy,” posting live recaps of games in progress — including University of Oregon and Oregon State football and basketball — to the website.

I am a campaign staffer.

Since March I’ve been campaigning with Rick Dancer, a candidate to become Oregon’s next Secretary of State. While my roll has varied to fill whatever needs pop-up in a statewide race, I am officially the Communications Director — where I am responsible for creating, implementing, and maintaining a strategy for new media, including the campaign website. Additionally, I handle all press relations.

I am a blogger.

With an online writing presence since 1998, I’ve been blogging since before “blog” was a term. My writings on life, politics, and other topics can be found at devilishduck.com. Additionally, my lifestream, a feed of my most recent online activity including music I’ve been listening to can be found there.

I am a philosopher.

With a group of several others, Epinoia Cafe has become a place where we discuss various theological topics as part of the emerging conversation within the Christian church. Many of my religious writings can be found on the website.

I am a web designer.

I taught myself the ways of web design; In fact, it has become my creative outlet. In addition to designing multiple versions of my blog, I have worked on several projects, designing sites for a campaign, a blogging network, churches, and various others. While I have yet to get my design company Legendary Five officially off the ground, if you’re interested in having a web site, please contact me.

I am a published sports writer.

From early on in my life I wanted to be a sports writer. By eighth grade I had become an online publisher of a college sports website. The quality was initially awful, but over the next several years I developed my skills to the point of becoming a prominent writer for the Rivals.com network, with additional freelance writings with other publications. I hope to soon create a portfolio of all my published writing here.
