ABOUT

My name is Randy Seaver, and this is my blog: Lessons in Mediocrity.

What more do you really need to know?

I am the editor and founder of the Biddeford Gazette, a free, online multimedia news organization.

After working out of state for several years, I returned to Biddeford in the late 1990s to continue my career as a newspaper reporter and editor for Mainely Media, Inc. and other media outlets.

I bring to the table more than three decades of experience in journalism, advocacy and public relations, and my work has been featured in publications throughout New England.

In addition to the Biddeford Gazette, I also own and operate a small strategic communications consulting firm, providing my clients with the tools they need to overcome complex challenges in the public realm.

I have successfully served as a campaign manager, communications director and field organizer on a wide variety of statewide ballot initiatives.

As a consumer of mental health treatment, I also regularly blog about mental health issues and the public stigma that is so often associated with treatment options.

I love well-crafted beer, the movie Jaws, camping, traditional jazz music and spending time with my wife and our black lab, Sasha.

I hate baked beans, Kevin Costner and every song ever performed by Journey.
