Chris Hemer’s Summary

I have been a professional writer and photographer in the automotive aftermarket since 1987. For more than 15 of those years, I specialized in technical subject matter, both as a staff member and a freelance contributor for some of the nation's most popular magazines. Later in my career, I became involved in the recreational vehicle industry, again as a technical editor and photographer.
During the span of my career, I have written about and photographed virtually every part of an automobile and RV. My goal was always to listen and learn as much as I could from every industry professional I spoke with, realizing that what I was doing was more than a job--it would serve a valuable purpose some day.

Chris Hemer’s Specialties:

In response to the growing demand for an ethical, knowledgeable and highly specialized communications agency, Writetec Media Services was established.
Today, we help companies in the automotive aftermarket and RV industries with their marketing, advertising and communications efforts, as well as generate publicity through print media and Internet content. We succeed where other agencies fail because we have the technical background to articulate the benefits of a given product or products.
