Daniel Johnson, Jr.’s Summary
I wear many hats.
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
* Diverse Business Intelligence (BI) experience in many industries, designing and developing Decision Support Systems (DSS).
* Server-side development, optimizing and creating new systems using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, which is tied closely to a version of Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics customized for the PEO industry. Currently runs on SQL Server 2000, but organization is moving to SQL Server 2005 this summer.
* SQL Profiler traces have been highly valuable in uncovering underlying tables and troubleshooting processes. Investigated SQL Server Reporting Services, looking to help company implement it for reporting later this year.
* SOFTWARE: Access 2003, SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, SQL Server 2000, Visual Basic for Applications, Excel 2003, Outlook 2007, MySQL, Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics 9
SOCIAL MEDIA
* Enthusiastic early-adopter of blogging, podcasting and new media, as fan, producer, and activist, developing and contributing to the community.
* In 2007 I set up and managed online public relations (PR) for a local domestic violence community awareness walk, using social media tools such as MySpace, Twitter, and podcasting.
* In October 2007 I founded the New Media Cincinnati social media group to promote awareness of new media and social media in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Dayton, helping others connect. Members report that they've benefited professionally and financially through connections they've made.
* Looking for opportunities to further use social media marketing, public relations, and analytical skills I've developed elsewhere in and around the Greater Cincinnati area. I get the biggest satisfaction from work where I see I'm helping others and look forward to helping you where I can.
IMPORTANT: I periodically send out updates about what's going on in my personal and professional life. Connecting with me means you'll get a copy.

Daniel Johnson, Jr.’s Experience

Founder, Event Organizer, and Speaker
New Media Cincinnati social media group
(Online Media industry)
October 2007 — Present (1 year 10 months)
New Media Cincinnati is a social media group for people in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Dayton areas involved with or who have an interest in new media (podcasting, video podcasting, blogging, micro-blogging, social networking, etc.).
I founded this group to help connect others in this space and promote new media in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Dayton areas. Every month I organize meetups and through digital outreach promote the events.
I have spoken and facilitated discussions on managing multiple online identities and why someone would want to attend a new media unconference like Podcamp. In 2009 I have led meetings where the group participated in an in-person social tagging exercise, 5-minute JOLT discussions, and new media roundtables.
In May 2009, we conducted our first New Media Cincinnati Unconference, in which attendees organized into clusters to discuss specific topics of interest to them. -
