Ques­tion 1: Who am I? I am the guy that reg­is­tered the domain name, mak­ing me Kris Roger­son. I love all aspects of cre­ativ­ity, but writ­ing is my first love and being a sin­gle man at this point and time, it is cur­rently my only love. Ques­tion 2: What do I want? I want to cre­ate killer adver­tis­ing copy to com­pel the client, entice the buyer and sell the prod­uct. I will use my abil­i­ties to get the Copy­writ­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties that I deserve and I will rock it — believe that. I also want to use my cre­ative writ­ing abil­i­ties to tell sto­ries that suck my read­ers into the vor­tex that is my clever (pos­si­bly twisted) mind. I am sure I have more wants, but I will stop here… for now.

I have always been the cre­ative type… draw­ing, paint­ing, sculpt­ing and all that good stuff, ever since I was a lit­tle kid. It only seemed nat­ural to go to school for some­thing cre­ative, so I did. I went to school for graphic design. We also drew naked peo­ple in art class and learned the basics of copy­writ­ing… and lots of other fun stuff.

Where did that take me? I ended up work­ing in many indus­tries, mostly within pri­vate com­pa­nies. I’ve never worked full time for any sort of design house… I still might, you never know, but the point is my expe­ri­ence grew a great deal, regard­less. I’ve cre­ated mate­ri­als to hock prod­ucts rang­ing from multi-million dol­lar dia­monds to live sav­ing search & res­cue equip­ment. I like to be cre­ative, I like to con­cep­tu­al­ize and watch things evolve from start to finish.

Some­how, along the way I also began to dab­ble in writ­ing, this basi­cally started because no one at a pre­vi­ous hos­pi­tal­ity job wanted to tackle the job of writ­ing sales sheet and brochure copy. So I did. Appar­ently, at least accord­ing to teach­ers in school, I had a knack for it… so, I took that moti­va­tion and ran with it. I kept mov­ing for­ward, pick­ing up writ­ing gigs, learn­ing all about seo (and becom­ing a mas­ter of organic seo I might ad) all while hon­ing my new craft to a pro­fes­sional level. I have also worked as a blog­ger and main­tain my own blog, which is gen­er­ally pretty humor­ous — says my mom.

So, what else… oh I am also a pho­tog­ra­pher, I know, I know… cliche, BUT, what­ever, when you’re good at some­thing, I was always told to charge for­ward and just do it. So I did and still do. I taught myself every­thing I know, con­firmed that with a few classes and now hold a tremen­dous knowl­edge of slr pho­tog­ra­phy — and thanks to my graphic design back­ground, I am an accom­plished photo edi­tor as well! From my world trav­els to around town, my pho­tos cap­ture what I see…

I paint too, mostly abstract stuff — but not exclu­sively. I just paint what I feel like paint­ing. Gen­er­ally I use acrylic, sim­ply due to the con­ve­nience of cleanup. I’m no Bob Ross, but some­times I feel like I could be Rob Boss.

Let’s see, what have I left out… ah, social media mad­ness. Yeah, that is some­thing that has recently (within the last 2 years) come to be a big part of my job(s). Let’s face it, it is not going to go away… so, I have evolved with it. Yay, web mar­ket­ing! Why not uti­lize Face­book for your busi­ness, have a cus­tom html fan­page, spend a few bucks on PPC/CPM, up your likes and directly mar­ket to your spe­cific tar­gets and geo­graphic location(s). Why not ‘tweet’ and learn about hash and @ tags, post rel­e­vant, inter­est­ing info to obtain fol­low­ers? Why not set up pro­files on Tum­bler and Squidoo where you can post seo friendly arti­cles for free? Social media is here to stay — put it to work, it just makes sense!

Oh right, I also know my way around some video edit­ing soft­ware and can dub audio, edit things together or apart… you know, the basic stuff that most teenagers can do these days… but I learned it on the job. Go me!

Ok, now that is the busi­ness side of Kris. Let’s let our hair down (for the record, my head is bic’d clean to the skin) and get to know me, out­side of the work­place. I dig the out­doors: hik­ing, kayak­ing, climb­ing and camp­ing. I keep fit with yoga and the gym and I have a soft spot for nat­ural hot­springs. I thrive on good food, good beer and good wine, while prac­tic­ing my beliefs in eat­ing locally and organic. I have a huge inter­est in organic food pro­duc­tion, both in rural and urban set­tings, I have an edu­ca­tion in organic gar­den­ing and uti­lize that as often as I can. The only pets I cur­rently coex­ist with live in my worm com­post bin, though I do want a kitty. Mrow.

Other than that I am pretty sim­ple, I love BC and I want land to start my own organic oasis out­side of the city, though I also love to travel to far off and exotic places… like Seat­tle. Haha, but seri­ously, I like Seattle.

There you have it. Click around and if you want me to do some qual­ity work for ya, shoot me an email, or ring me up on the tele­phone.
