About

Hi, I’m Lee Porter.

I received my undergrad from the University of North Texas and my graduate degree from Texas Christian University.

  • Sold and wrote advertising for the Dallas Observer and the Denton Record Chronicle
  • Media coordinator and small market buyer for Micheal’s Craft Store
  • Copywriter for RadioShack
  • Creative producer for Zagorski Communications
  • Marketing manager for Docs on Call and Austin Medical Personnel
  • Funded and managed a start-up landscaping company, The Green Guys
  • Freelance writer for Pier One Imports, Bennigan’s, T.G.I. Fridays, Inc., Dave & Buster’s, Leather Center Inc., and Bank of America

My failures and what I learned from them.

I was fired from the Dallas Observer and quit Zagorski Communications because I sucked. Really. I had no writing style and didn’t take any pride in my work.

Docs on Call and Austin Medical Personnel both went belly up because of a lack of understanding in the importance of the rate of return to a business. Everything under the roof of a business needs to work to make that business successful, everything.

The Green Guys failed because I spent too much on image and equipment. I should have spent my money on labor to actually mow, but our t-shirts looked really awesome.

Oh, I tweet, too.

Well, the contact tab is next. If you’ve read this far, you’re possibly going to hire me or you’re extremely nosy.

I look forward to discussing your project with you.

Again, thanks for taking the time to read my site.

P.S. I put this site together late at night, so if you see any goofs, let me know. I’ll send you a gift card for a free cup of coffee from Starbucks.
