Reason to hire me #34: as an infant, I established high-profile contacts in the moustache industry

It turns out a massive recession was exactly the wrong time to run off to a winter resort and take a seasonal serving job. Six weeks after snowboard season came to an end, I find myself unemployed, frustrated, and on the verge of pawning stuff to make rent.

So I figured it was high time I started putting together a portfolio — how else are these employers finally going to realize that I’m awesome?

Tonight’s efforts have produced the first four entries: the Web presences of three men and a hastily made video, baby! If you’ve never seen my work before, please be sure to check out these samples.

There’s plenty more where those came from, too; over the next few days I’ll be doing my best to add some of my photography, a couple of marketing initiatives from my FreshBooks days, and other relevant things that come to mind.

I’ve also taken the step of establishing a LinkedIn profile; it turns out I need a tool like this to maintain contacts and keep in touch, because I’m terrible at doing so otherwise. If you’ve worked with me in the past and didn’t think I was a total douchebag, your recommendation would be truly appreciated!

The last six weeks have been a humbling experience, one that I sincerely hope will be coming to a close soon. Cross your fingers for me, and let me know if you hear of any opportunities! I’m dying here.
