My research interests focused on popular culture, and my dissertation addressed our culture's historical views of science and technology and how these ideologies are reflected in the popular debate over the Internet. I also did some research on popular music, and am the past Area Chair for the Popular Culture Association's Electronic Communication and Culture Division.

I spent three years at US WEST in Denver, developing and managing a variety of Net-based programs for the PR and Employee Communications units. In July 2000 I became a victim of the Qwest/USW merger, and a couple months later moved to Boston, where I served as Web site Managing Editor for ATG.

Boston proved not to be my kind of town. A great city, to be sure, but a very different energy level than I'm looking for in life. So in July 2001 I moved back to Denver. My wife (Angela) and I were married at Equinox 2002, and are now the proud parents of Ronan, the Scottish Terrier from Hell.

From September 2001 until February 2004 I worked for Gronstedt Group as Communications Director, where I handled creative content development, PR, business development and consulting chores for a variety of Fortune 1000 and Global 500 clients. I spent a year as an associate professor in the Journalism & Mass Communication program at St. Bonaventure University in New York, teaching a variety of courses in both the undergrad curriculum and the graduate program in Integrated Marketing Communications.

In August of 2005 I moved back to my hometown of Winston-Salem (insert appropriate Thomas Wolfe quote here), and on October 31 joined a local, very small-pond local ad agency (that thinks it's a forward-looking strategic marketing firm) as Director of Strategic Development. Big mistake, but there's only so much you can know from a few interviews. Lessons learned.

A few months later I was contacted by some old colleagues from ATG, who were in the process of building a new mobility content and services company called RazzberrySync. They invited me aboard as a principal with primary responsibility for content (plus marketing and biz dev support, obviously). We officially launched earlier this year, and you're invited to stop by the site and learn more about us.
