David S.

Communications Specialist | Expert Copy Editor | Video + Audio

Hi! I’m a seasoned communications professional and expert editor with over a decade of experience spanning print journalism, agency marketing, and public relations. With a BA in Broadcast and Electronic Communications from Marquette University, I offer a unique, multidisciplinary skill set that blends meticulous copy editing, high-level project management, and professional audio/video production. Over the course of my career, I have successfully directed public engagement for a school district, managed comprehensive marketing campaigns for critical access hospitals, and served as the final editorial safety net for a daily newspaper. In my agency work, I have managed growth, media relations, and digital content development for over a dozen clients simultaneously. Additionally, my ongoing background as a radio announcer and live play-by-play sports broadcaster means I have a highly trained ear for audio editing, voiceovers, and pacing. Whether you need an eagle-eyed proofreader to refine your copy, a project manager to streamline your organizational communications, or a broadcast-quality voice professional, I deliver polished, engaging, and highly accurate results under tight deadlines.
