Executive Product Manager, McGraw-Hill Online Learning, MH Learning Solutions, Indianapolis, IN- October 05- present

Long title...I'm also on the books as Sponsoring Editor for Online Courses for McGraw-Hill Higher Education. The courses have won three awards! The gist of it is that I was what my boss called the "lynchpin" in a startup operation that delivered over 125 online courses in 2006-2008 plus over 200 custom deliveries by July 08, and did several million dollars in sales in 2009. Starting from scratch. I was in charge of the instructional design processes the courses, including participating in developing the processes in a senior role.

Most recently I have been working with the Learning Solutions group in designing new curricula, presenting at Educational Technology related conferences, researching, and creating a portal for curriculum development ventures. For references, contact me directly...

Exhibition Designer, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas from 11/89 - 09/96

This one's hard to capture in a blurb. I designed big, detailed exhibitions. That means I researched and built and prepared 6-10 exhibitions yearly.

That includes art direction, photography, graphic design. And oh yes, I was LAN administrator, and provided Macintosh training and support to staff. I was also an art courier and on-site staff representative for travelling exhibitions.

Other responsibilities: Maintain internationally known permanent collection of Spanish Masterworks and sculpture garden. Interacted frequently with world class institutions, which was great fun: (The Prado, MOMA, Met, Library of Congress, Marlborough and so on). Frequent consultant to other departments on design and computing matters.
