I have been a trade magazine editor, business book ghostwriter, and freelance writer.

MART Magazine covered appliance and consumer electronics retailing. To report accurately, I had to learn how to operate an independent appliance business—inventory control, sales, merchandising, and more.
I was the founding editor of Magazine Age, a prize-winning advertising trade monthly. I had to hire a staff of five, establish a schedule, manage a budget, and produce a product every month.

As a developmental editor and ghostwriter, I have published commercially published 21 books since 1990 in the areas of marketing, market research, direct marketing, internet marketing, sales compensation, selling, public relations, management, and business relationships.

I have also been the editor of three newsletters, one covering international marketing. As a freelance writer I have sold magazine articles and independently published fiction. As a volunteer, I have taught how to start a business in state and federal prisons.
