I MAKE AWESOME

NashvilleZine.com is the web publication of which I’m most proud. I had a simple idea: that those playing in bands, recording music and booking shows could cover the indie rock scene in Nashville better than the pro music journos who had to spend time covering country, contemporary Christian and everything else in town. The result was an overwhelming success. When I ended the zine in 20006 to focus on other ventures, we were drawing 2000 visitors a day (impressive for a local niche music site) and informing the mainstream media. We had around 20 contributors whose work I edited. I maintained the code of the site and worked as the managing editor — speaking with publicists, arranging interviews, requesting promotional material, et cetera.
