I have managed a number of large, long-term projects, mainly websites, multi-media and publications. I have also managed small businesses, services and staff.

I'm sure my colleagues and employees over the years would describe me as respectful and friendly. I would describe my management style as hands-off when it comes to people and hands-on when it comes to the project or business itself.

I also don't think you can manage well if you haven't at least tried doing the job the person you're managing is doing.

• Faculty Multimedia Lab For the last several years, I've run this lab at Reed College, supervising a number of students working on various faculty technology projects.
• NSF-AIRE@REED This website documents Reed's implementation of a National Science Foundation Grant. I managed the project in its entirety, including web and video production, server back-end, and writing/editing. I directly supervised web workers and worked with a videographer and about eight Reed science faculty. The site graphics have been re-made since the original site went up (in 2000), but the content remains essentially unchanged.
• ETC video This video was produced as part of the dedication of a new technology center and library wingbuilt at Reed College. Based on input from various campus constituencies, I created this video in its entirety, including scripting, filming, most of the editing and post-production. I also managed a photographer and several assistants. You need Quicktime to view the movie.
• Formosa site This Reed College website was a long-term academic project providing materials on the colonial history of Formosa (Taiwan). I managed this project for its last two years, until its go-live date in 1999. I supervised web production assistants and worked with the content provider, Professor Douglas Fix. Since its inception, the site has recieved traffic from around the world and is a widely recognized academic resource.
• Getty Center This Reed College website is the culmination of a three-year long project documenting the architecture of the Getty Center in southern California.

Since its inception in 2001, the site continues to get the heaviest traffice at Reed and is a widely recognized academic resource.
• Unalayee Food Program. For several summers I ran the food program at this non-profit, wilderness summer camp. This involved menu-planning, purchasing and distributing meals to about 130 people in a remote backcountry setting. The program was run in accordance with federal guidelines, which I documented in voluminous paperwork so that we could continue to receive Department of Agriculture assistance.
• Retail Businesses: I've served in a management postion at several retail business. I was the business manager for a coffeeshop/restaurant, I ran a small-town bike shop and was the systems manager for an outdoor retailer/manufacturer, Western Mountaineering. In all of these positions I supervised employees, developed training and business processes, and implemented new systems.
