David Haber

Imagine if the ink-stained ghost of Gutenberg and the irreverent spirit of Richard Feynman conspired to pull a complacent cabinet-maker onto a new path -- a path merging burgeoning scientific research with the quest for elegant publishing solutions?

Twelve years ago, David Haber was so pulled.

Dropping his router and buffing his degree from St. John's College, David joined what was then Cadmus Professional Communications as an editorial assistant. The CSE and APA style manuals became the bolts by which he would learn to build publishable STM content, the polyurethane applied to polish a researcher's masterwork. Moving through the publishing ranks as a copyeditor, production manager, account director, and a solution architect, David strived to find new techniques, new tools, and new methods for aiding authors and publishers in their mission to produce high-quality content, whether for the fixed ink of print or the more malleable electrons of our tablets.

In his spare time between assisting researchers translate their most technical findings into clear prose for the masses and penning his own tales of the quirky and strange, he can be found in his Baltimore backyard raising a flock of chickens and contemplating the possibility of a true urban farmstead, populated by goats and pigs and vegetables galore.
