Writing|Home
Experience:
Speeches, talking points, media releases, media advisories, public notices,
reports, analysis & commentary, newsletter articles, media & event
reviews, essays, columns, blogging, show writing, screenwriting, prose, comedy.
Some
people think of writing as a chore. I,
however, love to write.
Writing
is a constant part of my job at work. I
also write at home. I write a regular
online column about all things Disney. I
write book/film/album/attraction/theatre/concert reviews and event & trip
reports for an e-mail audience of hundreds. You can find my regular column,
KenversationsTM,
as well as some reviews and articles at: http://www.LaughingPlace.com,
the best place on the World Wide Web to find the latest happenings in regards
to everything Disney.
As
for fiction,
I write prose, screenplays, and any kind of thematic entertainment writing
(show writing). I did concept and character development for a now-defunct
interactive game and attraction design firm and continue to work on my own
projects. Drama, comedy,
satire, parody- I'm versatile, and I'm always looking for more projects.

the public relations staff for a 3600 employee organization responsible for the
research, conception, design, engineering, construction, operation, and

systems serving millions of customers on a daily basis. I was the Public
Information Officer - the primary news media contact for general public
affairs.
Areas of concentration include local government, land development,
transportation, environmental conservation, infrastructure, water management
issues, and disasters. Prior to that position, I wrote publicity materials for a

I'd like to apply my experience in this area to the themed entertainment and
resort development industry.
