About this user

I am a writer, teacher and marketer investigating the intersection of social media, communication, and commerce. I teach classes in Business, Communication, English and Information Technology to adults throughout various Southern California campuses and worldwide in asynchronous on-line classrooms. I also own Generative Learning Group, a provider of training and development materials that empower organizations with information for work and knowledge for life.

I am drawn to teaching because it allows me to help shape the lives of others while giving my life greater meaning. Before endeavoring into education I worked in marketing for more than a decade during which I designed ads, brochures, direct mail, press releases and websites, generating $100,000 in weekly direct mail sales and $500,000 to fund cancer research. In my capacity as a consultant, I have developed management training programs, summer internship initiatives, computer-based training modules and online recruitment procedures.

A prolific writer, I published eleven academic papers and presented nine of them at academic conferences. With deep journalism roots, my byline can be found in local, regional and national publications. I also maintain a blog, doctorio.us, with which I chronicle my adventures in academia as a teacher and student, while featuring stories related to the courses I teach.

Educationally, I hold an MBA from Woodbury University and a BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing from UC Santa Barbara, where I graduated with Phi Beta Kappa and high honors distinction. I am now identifying doctoral programs in which I can investigate my research interests.

Raised near San Francisco, I was born in Boston and am a dedicated Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox fan. I enjoy graphic novels and admire superheroes from the DC Comics universe. I have also had a lifelong fascination with aviation and space travel: I hope to earn a pilot's license and would gladly take a trip on the Shuttle. When earthbound you can find me living in the Los Angeles area.
