CollegeRecruiter.com Blog

I would like to start introducing our experts and counselors through a featured profile for all of our site viewers to be able to read and learn more about. I will start off with myself and provide you with some information about me.

I recently returned from Iraq after a year and half deployment. I have been hired as the Content Manger for CollegeRecruiter.com. I am responsible for recruiting and retaining bloggers and other writers, providing them with assistance such as generating new logins and topic suggestions, monitoring content to make sure it is G rated, and working to position CollegeRecruiter.com to become the focal point for information posted about issues related to college recruitment from schools, employers, students, graduates, and others.

I have known Steven Rothberg, the founder of CollegeRecruiter.com for over nine years. Together we have worked on many projects. In college I was an art major in the areas of graphic design, illustration and multimedia production. Steven and I started working together while I was doing freelance graphic design.

I have a blog which I just recently started called SoldierNow.com – http://www.SoldierNow.com which is basically a military blog to provide information to future soldiers who are thinking about joining the army. My goal is to help them find what interest them, provide any information about bonuses they can receive when enlisting and helpful resources to get them ready for talking with a recruiter. So if you know anyone interested in joining the army, send them my way. Have them mention CollegeRecruiter.com so I can not only provide them with information about the army, but other resources that are available through CollegeRecruiter.com that may be of interest to them.

Facts about me:
• I am married to my wife Melody. Both of us went to high school and college together. She is a CPA (or as I like to call her, a math geek) for Limited Brands corporate headquarters in the Bath & Body Works division. We have three children (2 boys, 1 girl ages 9, 5, and 2).
• In my spare time I enjoy playing ice hockey, day trading the stock market, painting with oils and acrylics, digital photography, & blogging.
