About Demian Hurst

I am a team leader, technical writer, technical training instructional designer, proofreader and technical editor, Web Designer and Master Automotive Technician. My technical writing clients have included RED Digital Cinema, Haynes Manuals, Immersed Technologies, Fisker, Audi and Kia.From service manuals to owners manuals and instructional material, to diagnosing and repairing the most complicated of automotive emissions and electrical systems, the ability to put in words what engineers are trying to say is one thing, but to understand the actual operation of the system is another.I am hard-working and goal oriented. I love a team environment, however I can excel on my own. I am quick, precise and efficient. In my mind, someone has to use the information I create to put food on the table for their family, or maybe even save a life, so it better be correct and easy to understand.I will not disappoint you technically, mechanically or ethically.
