Social Media, Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, and life imitating The Onion is the short version of my bio, the longer version follows:
Originally from the Columbus area, I moved to Cleveland in 1995 and now consider it my home.
I've been involved with news publishing and content marketing for over ten years, mostly working with B2B businesses in Cleveland.
I was one of the early Patchers when Patch came to Northeast Ohio in 2010. I absolutely loved working with my hometown Lakewood Patch as a freelancer. I am also an advocate for hyperlocal news and social media, in fact, my @LkwdCitizen Twitter account won Cleveland Scene's "Best Twitter to Follow" award in 2015.
