Charlie Moran is a web editor/producer at Advertising Age who enjoys shepherding ideas into reality.

He received a journalism degree from the University of Iowa because he loved to write, but his geeky proclivities have since led him to a multitude of web projects where he's had a hand in design, UI, analytics, SEO, and he's also built up programming chops with javascript and even flash/actionscript.

Over the years, he's written just as much code as he has pieces about music and branding, both through traditional reported work and through the (now retired) Songs for Soap blog.

Charlie lives with his dog Lucie. He tweets pretty regularly about beer, web technology and music. Ask him about his sourdough starter.

His latest blog post is The agony and the ecstasy of Tartine rye bread.
