About Me

I am a former freelance writer who has now transitioned to the exciting and dangerous world of PR. I'm currently the Public Relations, Marketing and Product Quality Manager at Sourcebits, a software development company specializing in mobile and tablet devices.

I also officiate football, and would like to remind you that referees are people too, so please try and be nice to them even when you disagree with their calls. Believe it or not, most of them do actually know what they're doing.

For my full background and complete work history please feel free to check out my LinkedIn profile, and go ahead and send a request to connect if you like what you see.

Work History

  • WorthPlaying.com
  • Associate Editor - PlayStation
  • November 2006 to Present
  • I provide previews, reviews and interviews for games on all the latest and greatest consoles and handhelds (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP and Nintendo DS). If you're not sure about a game just ask me, I've probably got an opinion.

  • Sourcebits
  • Public Relations, Marketing and Product Quality Manager
  • January 2011 to Present
  • I handle the PR for Sourcebits, a growing software development company specializing in the realm of mobile and tablet devices. In addition to sending press releases, pitching stories, blogging and keeping up with social media I also oversee quality on every product we create, providing feedback to our development teams and helping make sure we produce the most amazing apps possible.

  • Advanced Media Network
  • News Director
  • Febuary 2007 to October 2010
  • I ran the team that covered all the latest and greatest video game breaking news on Kombo.com. We provided reporting with in-depth analysis to create a unique experience that's more professional than a blog but not as dry as a business report.

  • 148Apps.com
  • Editor
  • October 2010 to December 2010
  • I provided reviews of games and apps for iPhone, iPod and iPad. I also wrote daily blog coverage of breaking news and major happenings in the iOS community. The devices may be small, but they make big waves.
