As the Managing Editor of RACQUETBALL Magazine for 20+ years, I produced the sport’s flagship publication from 1989-2004 and again between 2013-2016, resulting in a personal body of work that boasts 96 editions of the premiere and longest-running magazine of its type. My work included editing all content, coordinating the efforts of writers and advertisers, securing and selecting all graphics and images, then personally designing the final page layouts of every issue. I managed every phase of the book’s marketing, from setting annual editorial calendars and planning specialty segments, to negotiating ad contracts and approving press runs. Through 2004, the magazine was produced bimonthly, generating six issues per year with a 72-page count, in full color.
In the mid-90s, I took on the self-study and professional development of Internet skills that were groundbreaking at the time. Embracing the “level playing field” of the medium, along with its unlimited potential, I created the first AARA and IRF websites and populated them with the collective wealth of their historical archives and added a online RACQUETBALL site to supplement the print magazine.
