Jayson Peters

Digital. Wiz. Jayson single-handedly guided the Pueblo Chieftain, one of the oldest newspapers in Colorado, into the new era of digital publishing. From SEO to HTML, writing to editing, social media to video, Jayson can do it all. I wouldn’t be where I am in my career without help, guidance, and opportunities provided by Jayson Peters!

Friendly, sharp and inquisitive … Jayson sought out counsel from others and always sought to improve his skills. I watched him blossom into a copy editor and page designer and was thrilled when he added blogger to his resume. This is a guy who can do it all and smile while he’s doing it.

Someone you want on your team … In addition to his professionalism, positive attitude, reliability and trustworthiness, Jayson simply works hard. He will do what it takes to produce the best product possible and make the rest of his team better. I worked with Jayson for about five years in the news industry in Arizona and saw him step up on a number of projects. He was always considered a valuable employee by his colleagues.

Great writer, editor and designer … I’ve worked with Jayson on countless projects and he is one of the hardest working people I know. He improves the quality of every project he’s involved with and is dedicated to excellence. He’s friendly, easy to collaborate with, full of new and exciting ideas, and one of the most dependable coworkers I’ve ever had. He faces every challenge with confidence, integrity and creativity.

Approachable and willing to help … As a graduate, I can honestly say the skills learned in Jayson’s class have taken me further and allowed me to become more marketable than the greater majority of my courses at Arizona State.

Looking at the big picture … Jayson is a quick learner and excels at new opportunities. Handing over the leadership of a 40-year-old organization to Jayson, I watched membership grow and monthly participation by members and the public increase. Jayson skillfully and creatively reached out to additional partners and interest in the community. Inclusive is a word to describe Jayson and his coordination style.
