Objective: I seek an Internet Brands Manager, a key marketing or senior sales position for an established and progressive company.

Business History:

From 1975 through 1983, I built and operated a Los Angeles based mobile video and audio recording studio (On The Spot Recording) and a silk-screen print business focused on entertainment business merchandising (T-shirt Graphics). Since 1983, as sales and marketing professional, I have created and applied computer based hardware and software solutions to real world business challenges. In 1993 I added Windows based computers to my Apple II and Mac computer knowledge. My marketing experience includes numerous print collateral pieces, hundreds of national print advertisement layouts, both television and radio spot production, and planning print and electronic media buys. From behind and in front of the camera I have produced, shot, edited, and appeared in hundreds of hours of industrial videos. Supervising the design and deployment of customer service programs and direct response marketing matrixes required my use relational databases and high level programmers. My working understanding of the INTERNET is a strong asset. My Internet sales, planning, development and deployment experience includes over 200 web sites since Feb. 1995. I have the desire and discipline it takes to work without close supervision and produce great results. My online experience began with direct Telnet/BBS systems from 1988, about six years before there was a World Wide Web. My online history includes thousands of hands on hours with telnet, html, FTP, and search engine placement. For some historical perspective, please consider a piece I authored in Feb. '95 titled "Why the Internet Is Here To Stay" by accessing http://3aweb.com/algercom/.
