Dean Webb’s Summary

I've written three books and counting for DemiDec. Each summer, I write about 80,000 to 100,000 words about the USAD Social Science topic for the year in the "For the Rest of Us" series. In the process of writing these books, I've become an accomplished traveler, photographer, and documentary-maker.

My goals? Keep writing, I guess. I'd like a wider audience for my works, as I've gotten ravingly awesome reviews from all the people who've read them. My style is anything but dry, which could get me in some trouble in certain fields, but not the niche I've carved out for myself.

Dean Webb’s Specialties:

Writing, photography, documentary production, screenwriting, intelligence analysis.

Dean Webb’s Experience

• Writer, Online Personality

  Demidec

  (Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Writing and Editing industry)

  I do portraits and other works by commissioned request. Since I usually get very involved in doing them, I eat meals at irregular times, so, yes, when I'm an artist, I'm starving. But, otherwise, folks like what I do and they're glad I'm able to share my talents with them.

• Teacher

  Richardson Independent School District

  (Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Primary/Secondary Education industry)

  August 2002 — Present (5 years 10 months)

  I teach AP Economics and AP World History in addition to coaching Academic Decathlon. It's some of the toughest work anyone can ever do, and some of the most rewarding work, as well.

• MOSMWNMTK

  Mad-Techies

  (Writing and Editing industry)

  1999 — Present (9 years)

• Exchange Support Professional

  Microsoft

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; MSFT; Computer Software industry)

  March 1999 — September 2001 (2 years 7 months)

  For Microsoft, I supported their Exchange Server product for Fortune 500 companies in their Premier Support offering. During that time, I was considered by my peers in the Exchange world as one of the best tech support guys in the biz. Although I'm not in the tech support world anymore, my days at Microsoft are still special to me.
