Ready To Go Shows Network was a podcasting and multimedia production company. I co-hosted and produced the Ready To Go Patio Show, researched new podcasting opportunities, arranged interviews and on-location recording, served as the production sound mixer, edited audio and video, and managed all marketing and outreach efforts. In 3 years, I grew the Ready To Go Patio Show audience from less than 10 listeners in the first month to more than 300 unique listeners per day.

My typical workflow on the Ready To Go Patio Show involved a pre-production meeting with my co-host to decide where the next review will take place and set the date of the review. When arriving on-site for the review, we would photograph the surroundings, food, and anything else relevant, then write out notes and scoring based on pre-determined criteria. Next, The shows were recorded in a home studio, performed in a single-take, improvisational style, and later edited for length and clarity. Final publication involved writing blurbs and editing photos to use in a variety of web and social media posts for engaging potential audience members.

The final project for the network was writing and pre-production on a period television drama set in pre-statehood Oklahoma City. The decision was made to shelve the project before the pilot was completed.

As the managing partner, I was involved in marketing and image consulting, start-up planning, and management support for individuals and businesses in a variety of industries. Specific services include digital marketing, digital media production, management support and consultation, business and image planning, and more.

Recent projects include social media and marketing strategy for a casual dining restaurant, management and business planning for a start-up legal firm, and full-spectrum podcast production.

During my time with Weatherford, I was responsible for many facets of I.T. support and planning. My main role was that of regional team lead, administering and executing Tier 2 & Tier 3 I.T. support for 74 locations with 1200+ clients across the central and eastern U.S. The duties in that role included business needs and capacity planning, problem diagnosis, disaster recovery, desktop administration, and user education. Significant projects included system-wide rollouts of Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 7, system integration of newly acquired businesses, and the client-side move from a custom 3270- and 5250-emulation based enterprise management system to a Windows-based JD Edwards ERP/CRM/inventory management system .

As a team leader, I conducted interviews of job candidates, then provided training and mentorship to junior technicians. As the primary point of support contact for the region, I collaborated with management and user communities across all business units to define technology needs and implement usable real-world solutions.

I also served as a subject matter expert and technical investigator for corporate legal counsel and executive staff during internal and external legal or compliance actions, when needed. This role included onsite forensic analysis of external systems, providing detailed analysis of internal security and legal compliance practices, and evidence recovery and preservation.

My work with SoonerCon included managing hospitality and special events, negotiations with service and venue providers, strategic planning, marketing, direct sales, and event operations. From 2007 to 2009, I helped create and served as the Convention Chair for SoonerCon's sister convention, TrickConTreat, providing executive oversight and hands-on support to all aspects of the convention.
