Editor, Security Director News, United Publications
Portland, Maine Area
Over the past eight years, I have served in a number of media roles and I currently serve as the editor of Security Director News.
Throughout my career, I've handled a wide range of creative and writing services, collaborating with peers, subordinates and vendors to produce marketing and other print communications, as well as online communications including blogs and video projects.
During my tenure at SDN, I've acted as the primary public representative of the business publication at national conferences and trade shows to boost industry relations.
I've also prided myself in working closely with my team to develop editorial content that matches our corporate strategy.

I manage Security Director News, a monthly trade publication that reaches 30,000 security leaders in the private and public sectors. This includes the printed publication, its web site, enewswire blasts and SDNtvnews. I am also one of two professionals here that develop the educational program of our boutique conference TechSec Solutions. This includes developing presentations, interviewing speakers, compiling data for presentations and organizing sessions for this event that focuses on the emergence of IP-based physical security technologies.
