Calder graduated with a B.A. in Mass Communications and concentration in Advertising and Journalism from Bloomsburg University in December 2000. He started his career at a weekly newspaper where he quickly mastered editing and layout and was promoted from reporter to features editor. Realizing that newspapers were just the tip of the publishing iceberg, he took a challenging position as editorial director for a greeting card and novelty gift company where he mastered the art of creativity and promotion as well as marketing and PR. Next Calder pursued the magazine publishing arena writing and editing for The Crafts Report, a national arts magazine with an audience of more than 35,000 readers. In a pursuit of multimedia operations, he worked as Senior Editor for two B2B publications covering the business of publishing. It was at this point in his career that he realized that publishing was truly and quickly moving away from paper to online projects.
Calder is currently employed full-time for HMP Communications and is Managing Editor of Today’s Wound Clinic (TWC), the leading journal for clinicians in a wound care clinic setting. Some believe that wound care centers are the largest growing type of facilities in the healthcare industry. Calder is ready and excited to use his vast skills and experience to make TWC an online and print powerhouse in the world of healthcare publishing.
