Job Title:: Documentation Lead

Company Name:: ExactTarget

About Me:: I've been communicating technically for my entire career, over eight years and am now impatient to make the transition to management.

I evangelize for structured authoring, information management, minimalism, and every methodology that makes communication faster, easier, and more accurate through automation.

Earlier in my career, I had tolerance for communicators with any level of knowledge of latest advancements in the field, interest in innovating their methods, and passion for the career.

Lately, though, I have lost patience with mediocre effort. I see a need for us to set standards among ourselves so that we can officially disclaim those who keep themselves intentionally ignorant and keep them from dragging down the good name of Technical Communicator.
