Editor in Chief
Wireless Dealer Magazine
(Wireless industry)
August 2006 — Present (3 years)
This quarterly 250+ page magazine is delivered to over 62,000 Independent retail product buyers in cellular, audio and electronics as they are related to wireless technologies.
My job is to help create buying confidence in the companies, products, and services that are offered to the independent dealer for resale to the consumer market.
In addition to conducting interviews, reviewing products and writing features about everyone from the startups to industry hallmarks, I also bring in other writers and editors to contribute from their areas of expertise.
Wireless is the technology that we've been daydreaming about for for over half a century so that we may be untethered wherever possible. That definition is expanding beyond the mobile phone and into every aspect of media and the electronics that support them. -

One of the country's first digital photography studios was also my first paid professional photography job after college.
The photo studio at Koch was part of an in-house Advertising department for an international food industry processing equipment manufacturer and wholesale supplier. We photographed everything from hog breast splitters to ergonomically designed 10-inch cooks knives to large injection machines and killing pens.
The challenge was shiny surfaces with lots of stainless steel.

Sondra Sneed’s Honors:
While I've often been told to do otherwise, I just don't enter contests other than for my hobby as a cowboy shooter. In that endeavor, my biggest win was third place at the Texas State Championships in 2007.
