Over the years my involvement in this role as Sound and Media Volunteer has changed. This role is important to this organization's mission of creating a welcoming environment for everyone who attends services. It involved producing and managing media content for the church's website, providing audio/visual support for church activities. In 2011 it further evolved to providing digital marketing strategy and management. The role demanded the ability to work in an ever-changing, multi-tasking environment behind the scenes and includes running 40-track mixing board, lighting mixer, other peripherals, and the MediaSHOUT projection system. In 2009 I experimented with posting updates via Twitter of worship services and approached the leadership about having a Deacon of Social Media. My efforts in this respect were featured in MSNBC and in other media. We have also experimented with live streaming audio from the Sunday morning worship services to the internet as a way of connecting with others who otherwise would not be able to participate. In 2011 I became an Administrator of the church's website and quickly learned how to use the content platform to set up and manage content for the site (messages, songs, etc.). In 2015 I stepped back to only remain as an Administrator of the organization's Facebook presence (an internal group and external page). In addition, I remain available to consult with the organization's technology team. I'm constantly looking for ways to help this organization tell the stories of how lives are being changed as it works to fulfill its mission in the community, whether through media design or other online content management.

As an Ambassador for the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, I was part of a group of Chamber volunteers who believe in supporting the membership-at-large in return for the opportunity to brand our business through repeated exposure. Acting in a "Servant Leadership" capacity, the committee's first and primary focus is to serve members by helping them get the most from their membership.

As an Ambassador for the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, I was part of a group of Chamber volunteers who believe in supporting the membership-at-large in return for the opportunity to brand our business through repeated exposure. Acting in a "Servant Leadership" capacity, the committee's first and primary focus is to serve members by helping them get the most from their membership. We did this by participating in networking events, supporting ribbon cuttings, and inviting members to various chamber activities. A key part of what I did as an Ambassador is personally visiting new and renewing members, explaining their membership benefits, and helping them get engaged. I loved being a part of this community, and I loved that I got to represent the NKYChamber. Show less

For five years, New Media Cincinnati was a digital media networking group for people in the Greater Cincinnati area involved with or who have an interest in new and social media (podcasting, video podcasting, blogging, micro-blogging, social networking, etc.). I founded this group out of a deep-seated belief in helping connect others in this space and promote new media in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Dayton areas, when nothing of its kind had previously existed.

For five years, New Media Cincinnati was a digital media networking group for people in the Greater Cincinnati area involved with or who have an interest in new and social media (podcasting, video podcasting, blogging, micro-blogging, social networking, etc.). I founded this group out of a deep-seated belief in helping connect others in this space and promote new media in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Dayton areas, when nothing of its kind had previously existed. I and others organized monthly events and promoted them through digital outreach. They were a great way to take connections made online into the real world. Over time the group's mission changed to promoting digital literacy in the Cincinnati area. From a ragtag group of just over 10 people meeting in-person, the group grew to nearly 500 people in 2011 and emerged as one of the most active networking groups in the Cincinnati area. In October 2012, after five years, Daniel, together with the Steering Committee, realized that the social media landscape and, more specifically, the communities that existed in the Greater Cincinnati area, had matured to the point that it was time to retire.

The Job Search Focus Group of Hyde Park (JSFG), part of the Career Achievement Network (CAN) in Cincinnati, is one of the best support groups around for people in transition. I was very glad to get to know so many talented people.

The Job Search Focus Group of Hyde Park (JSFG), part of the Career Achievement Network (CAN) in Cincinnati, is one of the best support groups around for people in transition. I was very glad to get to know so many talented people. As a volunteer on the Marketing Committee, I helped the group with strategy, projects, and initiatives related to spreading the word in the Greater Cincinnati community, not only to job seekers, but also to employers were seeking qualified candidates from the JSFG talent pool, including the Fall and Spring Job/Resource Fairs. One of my strong interests was in helping the JSFG marketing committee understand how job seekers can use social media in their job searches. I was asked to present on this to the group. Show less
