Greg Perry’s Summary

19 years of media experience has produced a manager capable of producing award-winning publications that generate a healthy profit. The bottom line is the bottom line and is not to be ignored. Making a product that not only informs and entertains but makes a profit is my passion. Call it "creative that pays."

Future goals involve marrying my print/media/publishing/creative abilities with my motorsports and aviation interests. This would be the ultimate job.

Greg Perry’s Specialties:

Media design and production, staff management, freelance writer/photographer negotiations, print production, creative production of one-off pieces to bolster the bottom line.
