Dana Severson has been writing since about the age of six, but didn't branch out professionally until...well, let's say it wasn't a full-fledged career until mid-2005. Of course, his looks weren't so scruffy as a small child, but that's still up for debate. We want pictures!
Prior to freelancing, Dana worked in marketing as a Manager of Business Development (it seemed like a natural transition). As part of the marketing machine, he was responsible for $1.75M of business annually through the development of targeted marketing campaigns in some of the biggest (and smallest) grocery store chains around the nation. He worked on brands like Big G Cereal, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Progresso, Old El Paso, Yoplait, Nature Valley, Cascadian Farms and Muir Glen.
