These are some projects I have had a hand in making over the years.

Oneonta Voices Podcast Series (2018-2019)
Developed the concept and supervised the production of this student-led documentary podcast series, which focuses on life and culture in the SUNY Oneonta campus community. Initially piloted as an Independent Study project in Spring 2018, later embedded into the course MCOM 340: Participatory Media during Fall 2018 and Spring 2019. To date, 37 students have collaborated to produce 21 half-hour episodes across 3 “seasons.” Project to be re-introduced in the near future.

Skyscraper Zine (1998-2012)
Co-founder, co-owner, publisher, and editor-in-chief of independent arts and entertainment “zine” providing cultural criticism on a broad range of topics in popular culture, in particular underground, punk, and indie rock music. Originated as a quarterly issued print publication, distributed extensively throughout North America and internationally (1998-2009). Moved to a digital, online-only platform (2009-2012). Skyscraper was co-founded by my brother Peter and myself; he handled all the business affairs and I curated the content and directed all the editorial activity. Those duties included: planning and generating content; hiring and managing a team of freelance contributors; setting up interviews and photo shoots; writing reviews and features; proofreading, fact-checking, and copy editing all pages; overseeing graphic design and production process; networking with industry colleagues; and attending conferences and events.
Unfortunately, the Skyscraper website has been offline for a few years now. (Though snapshots can be accessed via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.) Hopefully in time we will be able to make a digital archive of the print publication available.
