Résumé and Headshot

My professional résumé lists my work experience as an
Internet Application Developer, FM Radio Disc Jockey, et al.

Audio & Video

AUDIO: From 1995-2000, I worked as a disc jockey on various
 commercial FM stations in Iowa, using the alias Eddie James.
 Five years later, I inexplicably started doing it again.

VIDEO: "Medium of Exchange" is a locally-produced short film
 which I edited using Final Cut Pro, and in which I play a role.

Sweat Lodge Info

The legendary hard rock band Sweat Lodge played gigs
in Iowa and the midwest from 1991-'97, attracting armies
of fans known as "sweat-heads" to writhing mosh pits.

I was the band's manager starting in 1995. The "murmur"
Web page, which I created to promote the band, has info
for Sweat Lodge fans including audio from a backstage
interview with vocalist Andrew Genous.
