The need for social media leaders has, unsurprisingly, been on the rise.

Although I’m still freelance Internet consulting through Orangejack LLC, I’m also looking for full-time work as an Internet Strategist or Social Media Strategist. That’s why I keep my resume and LinkedIn profile updated accordingly.
I’m open to relocation if the right position comes along, particularly in the regions around these airports: MCO, ATL, GSP, CLT, RDU, and IAD. Those are the top of my list because our family lives near these areas (GSP & DC). However, other locations will be considered! 
I am utilizing over seven years of professional experience in online marketing, Internet strategy, and social media implementation. I have a strong understanding of emerging media marketing techniques and social media. I know how to use these tools to stay ahead of the curve and accomplish organizational goals effectively, and I have extensive experience in training others around the world to use these skills.
I am deliberate in my choices. I’d rather work on a project that is already good and take it to great. I don’t prefer to take a project from bad to mediocre. For me to improve a situation, I sort through potential solutions to find the best solution. I’m always asking the “What happens if…” question (to myself and of others) helping me to anticipate potential outcomes and be able to break the situation down into a simplified explanation. Once I’ve made a decision I want to see it to completion because I’m driven by being helpful and dependable. I know my strengths and want to work with others who know theirs. We all fit together in the overall picture and I work best when we’re all doing our part.
Though I’ve been involved in online communities since 1995 (the AOL days), since 1999 I have worked in one field: the Internet. The niche I covered within this field has changed every few years. I started as a web designer, then moved into the fields of web marketing, internet strategy, and application of new generation web applications (Web 2.0) of the social web to overall communication strategies.
I like to be involved in projects where I can plan, lead, participate, cast vision and make a solid difference while not being limited to being a consultant. My desire is to not just be a “web guy”. I’m not a techie. I approach strategy and communications from the angle of understanding the audience and adapting our communications to them in whatever formats and frequency is appropriate (however I have a strong understanding and experience of marketing and using the web).
I keep my resume updated at all times online.
Currently I live in Orlando, Florida, USA. If you want to contact me, you can email me directly at orangejack [at] gmail [dot] com.

I help you use the web well.
I start by creating an overall Internet strategy including all appropriate forms of marketing (including offline and online marketing disciplines); however, my niche inside the strategy is using social media tools to interact effectively. I’ll show you how to use social media both internally with teams and externally with customers, friends, and family.
I have consulted, traveled, and been a conference and seminar presenter on topics such as Internet Marketing, using blogs and other emerging web technologies, and effective use of social networks.
