Originally from California, I have spent the past decade living in Utah. I work for Utah Valley University as an academic advisor for the Department of Communication. Outside of higher education I specialize in graphic design, public relations and the occasional film project.

Baby Incredible
This is where my wife blogs about the ups and downs of harboring a fetus. One day this kid will break out of this vaginal prison, and when she does I am sure this blog will chronicle all the hell she will raise on the outside.
The Sonosopher
http://www.thesonosopher.com/index.html
The official website for a movie I helped make called The Sonosopher: Alex Caldiero in Life...In Sound. It was recently an official selection of the CInequest Film Festival in the feature length documentary category. We hope to release it on DVD soon, so if you haven't seen it you will get a chance.
UVU COMM Facebook Page
http://www.facebook.com/uvucomm
I moderate this Facebook fan page for my department. If you are a communication student at UVU you should really be a fan of this page. I try to keep it fresh with internship info and helpful links.
UVU COMM Twitter Page
http://www.twitter.com/uvucomm
I run this Twitter feed for my department as well...but it is usually just re-posts from the Facebook page. Some students find it an easy way to get a hold of me via Direct Message.
Utah Valley University Department of Communication
This is the official site for my department. Because I am the only who contributes to its upkeep it is usually outdated.
The Daily Derbi
Utah's Largest Car Blog and the brainchild of one of my former students. I keep threatening to guest post but until I do Chad Waite and his gang of contributors will continue to bang out quality automotive content with a focus on Utah.
The Big Bags
The personal blog of Nate Bagley, another former student of mine. Bags is a local social media maven with a ton of passion. Check him out...I expect we will all be working for him one day.
Mark the Intern
http://marktheintern.blogspot.com/
Mark is no longer an intern. He is just one of the best young photojournalists in the state. His blog allows you to see all the great shots that didn't make it to the pages of The Daily Herald. Mark got his start in the UVU newsroom, and is proof that you can still get a job in traditional media if you have the skills.
Tall J
Tall J is Jeremy Harmon, the Deputy Director of Photography at The Salt Lake Tribune. While his blog always features his amazing photos I usually visit Tall J for his recommendations of rare and wonderful music.
H is For Hungry
http://h-is-for-hungry.blogspot.com/
Local music empresario Joey Mayes is a man of legendary appetites. His food blog chronicles the gastronomic journey of a man searching for something tasty and original. More foodies should follow his example and feature items from 7-11, or recipes for culinary delights like "Grief Stroganoff". Bon Appe Tits!
Look at This Fucking Dumpster
http://thisfuckingdumpster.tumblr.com/
Some web genius's idea for ripping off the popular Look at This Fucking Hipster blog (which is great in its own right).
