I am currently writing articles for www.thefirearmblog.com<\/a>. I am contracted to write 15 short articles each month and am proud to say that myself and one other writer beat more than 130 other qualified applicants to earn our positions. The Firearm Blog’s motto is “Guns Not Politics”, so the articles cover breaking news in the industry, reviews of new products, international firearm and military news, and the like. Along with writing, I do all the image manipulation for each article, sometimes including original photography, sometimes heavy image manipulation in Photoshop. You can view all of my articles in chronological order by clicking the below link:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During 2011-2012 I wrote many articles for The Shooter’s Log at\u00c2\u00a0www.cheaperthandirt.com<\/a>. Article writing is challenging and rewarding. Coming up with entertaining, informative topics and writing them to a high standard in a timely fashion is notoriously difficult. I’m proud to say that traffic to Cheaper Than Dirt’s blog increased by over 200% during my time there. \u00c2\u00a0Here I have linked to some of my typical articles, presented in alphanumeric order by title. I wish to note here that these articles are the intellectual property of the company\u00c2\u00a0Cheaper Than Dirt!<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0and are presented here solely as an example of my work product to augment my curriculum vitae.<\/p>\n
