Eric has been a lifelong writer, beginning with his High School newsletter. Since then, he has pursued an artistic lifestyle and writing has always been some part of the many creative things he has done. Most recently he has been involved in a unique film and television writing room where he developed new ideas for the 'right now' media landscape. Writing scripts, especially dialogue comes down to imagination... being able to put one's self into another's shoes and see with their eyes. It's this imagination ability that sets Eric apart. Previous to that he was a journalist covering modern Indie-Rock artists, before that he wrote for city magazines and advertising clients. With a degree in Literature and a lifetime of experience, Eric is a senior concept writer.

Multimedia

0 Projects Completed

Eric brings outstanding Multimedia skills. He's an experienced photographer, videographer, video editor and publisher with an ability to manage complex production projects. He's done hundreds of videos for YouTube and socials, including SEO tagging. One of the main benefits he delivers to clients is his ability to processing dialogue for video, beginning with remote sound recording equipment and finishing up with post-processing techniques to make sure people sound right and can be heard clearly. This is one of the 'little things' that adds up to presenting yourself in a superior way. If I do my job right, nobody knows I ever did it at all. They just see and hear what they expect, the way they expect it.

Web Development

0 Projects Completed

Eric's career pre-dates the internet and he has been a part of every technology development and growing pain ever since the first days of dial-up. Always ahead of the curve, he's helped friends, employers and clients to both understand, and make the most out of their online presence. This has required a tremendous amount of time organizing accounts, passwords and hosting locations for people. But it's this grunt work that has him such a deep understanding of the systems. Eric can imagine your website, write it, create graphics, build it and optimize it because he's been doing it for two and a half decades.

Ask him about the time he crashed GoDaddy's web builder.

This writer got his start in design and print doing Direct Mail, and though it might seem like an odd reference, it's an environment that makes you be efficient.

Direct Mail is a boot camp for organizing thoughts and making the first impression count. As the world gets faster and tighter, the skills of making a good coupon or brochure are the same ones needed to push socials and marketing messages in the ever-shrinking attention windows of customers.
