About the author

Originally from the UK (born in Scotland, raised in England), today I'm in St. Louis, USA.

I have been privileged in my career to be behind the microphone, in front of the camera, authoring books and articles, and representing non-profits, organizations, and corporations in all aspects of communication.

I'm dangerously knowledgable in public and media relations, social media, employee communication, public speaking, government relations, economic development, diplomatic outreach and more. Over the years, I've supported the goals of companies and organizations involved with economic development, technology, agriculture, philanthropy, religion, anti-violence, education, health services, energy, sustainability, policy and information, and financial services. Some of the specific organizations supported include the Missouri Partnership, Monsanto, BASF, SixThirty, St. Louis Regional Chamber, St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, the Scottish Government, and the Cortex Innovation Community. I've had the honor to be on teams that have been recognized with 42 awards for professional communications.

I am privileged to serve as HM Honorary Consul of the United Kingdom for Missouri, and recently I was appointed a GlobalScot by the Rt. Hon. Nicola Sturgeon MSP, First Minister of Scotland. I'm an active volunteer, and have been humbled by recognition from both President Bush and President Obama. I serve on the board of the St. Louis Scottish Games and lead PR for the St. Louis Scottish Games and the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo.

I have been told a decent public speaker and seem to be a well-rounded communication strategist. I hold a BS in Global Leadership and Management from Washington University in St. Louis.

Reviews

[Pam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Being a Blue Angel: Every Kid’s Guide to the Blue Angels is written by Mark I. and Amy C. Sutherland. This book is definitely not one to get on Kindle as it is very small and hard to read online. You have to enlarge each page as you do through it. That takes the interest of the kids away from the book. The information given is excellent and very informational for students.
