Meet the ACS Webinars Multimedia Team

Samuel Toba

Samuel is actually a chemist at heart and enjoyed his learning periods at Towson (Go Tiger!), Penn State (Go Nittany!), UCSF (a great institution without a mascot), and SDSU (Go Aztec!). He has worked in industry and startups in various scientific and business roles before moving to Washington, DC and became an association bureaucrat.

Michael David

Michael comes to us from Utah and has always had a love of chemistry and science. As a child, he watched many hours of “NOVA” and “Bill Nye the Science Guy” on PBS. Unfortunately, he was sidetracked by the seductive world of public administration in college and strayed from his true love. Working for ACS Webinars has given him the perfect opportunity to get his life back on the right track and redeem himself from his sojourn in to social science.

Tanya Fogg

Talk to us, write to us, tweet us, fan us, and you will hear back in a reasonable time from Tanya. She will help answer your questions, resolve issues you encounter (your relationship issues – optional), or find someone (a therapist) who can help you. She’ll take care of you! She also makes sure that the ACS Webinars production wheel is turning, and keeps all of us humming and happy..

Erik Holderman

The verifiable 6th man on the ACS Webinar All Star Team and Erik looks forward to adding his marketing experience and creative energy. In addition to assisting with the weekly production of ACS Webinars, his main focus will be on a new project called ACS Webinets, which aims to create quick bite size information in the form of 2 minute short videos from some of the most popular hour long webinars. As a sideline, you may currently catch him treating guests to his personal liquor infusions when he bartends at Tackle Box in Georgetown.

Aaron Rubenic

Video editor extraordinaire, Aaron is an instrumental player in the ACS Webinets “2 Minutes to a Smarter Scientist” Project. He swiftly sifts through the sea of potential still and moving images, effects, and transitions to help create a visceral experience for these quick yet poignant short videos.

Kristen Jaeggi

Kristen’s background is in online marketing and while working in her last job for an ad agency she provided successful marketing plans and strategies for such accounts as The CW Network’s “Gossip Girl” and Clorox. She vows to bring some of that good old sass to make ACS Webinars a cleaner, healthier, and brighter place to work! Kristin is a rogue photographer in her spare time.

David Harwell

Listen long enough to ACS Webinars and you will get to know the voice of David Harwell who occasionally moderates the Careers and Professional Development Webinars. He is the Assistant Director for Career Management and Development at ACS. In his job, he works with chemical professionals throughout their careers. It has been widely noted that David breaks the mold and is in fact a well-dressed chemist.
