PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
A successful publisher for over 30
years, I am most honored to have re-
ceived four Certificates of Excellence/
Maggie Awards. Out of 25 publishers
nationwide, my company received
Denver International Airport’s RFP
to produce FlyDenver Magazine. Both
my companies, Bush & Associates,
Inc. and Lynx Media, LLC, have pro-
duced official visitor guides for cities
throughout western Colorado, as well
as trendsetting publications like Mon-
troseStyle, TellurideStyle, WesternStyle
and Kid’sStyle. As a writer, the high-
lights of my career are interviewing
Vice President Dan Quayle, General
H. Norman Schwartzkopf, Greg Nor-
man, the owner of Discover Chan-
nel, John Hendricks, Joe Cocker, and
many other well-known personalities.
As a publication/communication spe-
cialist, my primary focus has been on
writing, editing, graphic designing
and branding. I am an Associated Press
Stylebook devotee and am well-versed
in leading teams of writers, photogra-
phers and graphic designers in deliver-
ing top-brow publications. I consider
myself an expert in most of the Adobe
Creative Suite programs and am an
Apple enthusiast. As a long-time busi-
ness owner, I am deeply committed to
quality, safety and integrity.
From the precepts of creative energy to thumbnails, to final publica-
tions, I have digitally generated fine communiqué for decades, man-
aging writers, photographers and designers through to end-product.
Major: Journalism/Advertising. Minor: History.

With a B.S. degree in journalism, I started off my career writing
ad copy and most all the stories for flagship advertising and pub-
lishing company, Bush & Associates, Inc. As business grew, I hired
out writers and wrote the feature stories. As editor-in-chief for nine
titles, I am well-versed in creative and technical writing, fact check-
ing and am a supreme advocate of the Associated Press Stylebook.
As a small business owner for over 30 years, the hallmark of success
is customer service, being one who “does it all,” if needs be, and
works expeditiously as well as efficiently. I am also budget-oriented,
organized, supremely astute at world’s most highly regarded media
hardware and software­—Mac and Adobe Creative Cloud.
Marketing and graphic design proficiency—ad campaigns; identity
branding; photography assignments—high resolution, transfers of
huge data files via Dropbox, Google, FTP sites, et al; brochures,
data sheets, websites and complex publication designer; typography.
Have created many WordPress and ecommerce sites.
OBJECTIVE—To contribute my publishing, marketing and web development expertise to a
stellar organization while developing communication plans and marketing programs accompa-
nied with amazing branding and graphics; to be the driving creative force in developing inno-
vative advertising campaigns and collateral materials for internal and external uses; to develop
strategic print and electronic communications that propel the company’s values, traditions
and forward-thinking dynamics; to work seamlessly with colleagues delivering their visions to
appropriate audiences with a continuous goal of increasing customer and investor baselines; to
be invaluable toward achieving the company’s goals and objectives.
