Edward A. Sanchez’s Summary

I have 10 years experience in automotive media & marketing, both print and digital, trade and consumer. I also have experience in digital community & content management, professional writing and journalism. Although I'm a dyed-in-the-wool car buff, my interests are varied. I would consider opportunities that leverage and harness my skills beyond automotive media. I would like to eventually expand into video, cable TV or radio.
