Work Experience
Multi Media Services
Napkin Pitch Media - Clermont, FL
April 2005 to Present
Alternative Media Ops is designed to service the needs of companies and organizations looking to maximize their exposure in today's vast social media universe. Using some of today's most advanced intelligence-gathering technologies, we are able to identify and then reach highly-specific demographic segments of the marketplace.
Techniques used include:
-
Market-segment identification using worldwide analysis of social media individual user communications (a new and emerging technology that remains highly proprietary);
-
Sophisticated link-analysis to identify and capture highly-specific special interest networks and groups;
-
Geographical communications analysis to discover who's talking about any topic, product or service in any-sized geo-coordinate from a building to a state or city;
National, regional or local consumer sentiment analysis done in real-time on any subject or product. Data can then be used to track changes in sentiment;
-
The byproduct of customer identification gathering is on-going, completely up-to- the-minute prospect lists that include all contact information such as Twitter, email, phone, Facebook, Instagram and other personal profile information;
-
Real-time campaign effectiveness-tracking using these new technologies.
Using these techniques, we have developed a keen awareness of the strategic use of social media to influence purchasing decisions, public opinion and trends. Many of these new technologies are exclusive to Alternative Media Ops, making its services both unique and cost-effective.

Lobbied members of Congress and many state officials on issues affecting veterans and their families. Managed planning, budgeting and all field operations for the state of Florida.
Publisher
Stevens Publishing Company - Long Island, NY
1979 to 1997
Created, researched, wrote and promoted "Meat Industry Insights Newsletter" during a time when special interest newsletters were very popular. This Newsletter became quite successful and published until 1997, when the Internet became the center of news in the business world.
At its height, more than 1200 executives paid $169.00 a year for this service. The newsletter transformed into a web-based news service that was available for another five years. Stevens Publishing Company also published Catalog Showroom Reports Newsletter for three years in the mid-1970s.
Computer Software Developer
SPC Software Company - Long Island, NY
1984 to 1990
It was the beginning of the computer age. I had been studying computer science independently while running my business. I invested $2400 in one of the first home-computer systems of its day - a Texas Instruments 99-4a system. The intent was to automate my newsletter production and distribution business.
I found the available software lacking, so designed and wrote "Data Base 1", one of the first third-party programs for the home computer market. This program sold thousands of copies worldwide and soon rivaled my newsletter business in gross revenue. It was a nice run for about four years. By that time, Microsoft and other "giants" entered the business. SPC Software suffered a slow and controlled withdrawal from the marketplace.
