Meet the ReputationDefender Team – 04/02/2010

Welcome to another awesome edition of Meet the ReputationDefender Team! Last time out, we met marketing manager Adam Faughnan. Today, we say hello to the other Adam on the ReputationDefender team, former journalist and world traveler Adam Tanguay. Learn more about Adam below.

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Adam Tanguay and I’m the Head Writer and Team Leader of ReputationDefender’s Publication and Editorial department. My main operational focus is the MyEdge product, but I also work on general company R&D, marketing, product development, and PR efforts whenever I get the chance.

What did you do prior to joining ReputationDefender?

I studied Political Science and English at the University of California at Davis. I spent several wonderful years as an Arts and Entertainment Reporter with the California Aggie and also did some reporting for the Vallejo Times-Herald.

What attracted you to ReputationDefender?

The world of print journalism became a little stagnant for me, so I decided to find something new and exciting. This obviously led me right to ReputationDefender’s doorstep.

Why do you think it’s important for people to manage their reputations online?

Where do you go to research new products? New people? New ideas? Everything is online, and there are very few laws governing how one may interact with and manipulate this information. You must be proactive and control your digital image before someone else does.

When you’re not helping individuals control and protect their good names online, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I like to explore the physical world. You know, places that aren’t found inside computers. Like forests, mountains, lakes… and fast-food restaurants.

What’s your all-time favorite website?
