HERE'S HOW I CAN HELP
LOOKING TO ADD SOME SKILLS TO YOUR TEAM?
I LOVE TECHNOLOGY
Understanding new technologies, and being versed in using them has given me a unique skill set that's hard to come by. Not only do I strategically map out high-level, short- and long-term initiatives, but I can also execute with full graphic design capabilities, along with follow-up reporting and analysis.

CREATIVITY
As markets and segments evolve, so must the tactics we employ. I continually assess my approach to ensure I tackle challenges in the most effective and efficient way possible. Doing something just because it's easy that way isn't good enough. I approach opportunities creatively - that’s what makes life fun. Because of this, any organization I support tends to show up in a big way in anything we do.
"THE MOST DANGEROUS PHRASE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS
'WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY.'" ~GRACE HOPPER
INNOVATION
I'm rarely comfortable maintaining the status quo. “Because we’ve always done it that way” is not an excuse to keep doing so. Too often do folks fall prey to this type of thinking, and actually keep themselves from reaching their full potential. I default to identifying best practices, discovering or creating new tools and vehicles for reaching my audience, and communicating in a way that resonates them.
"MANY ATTEMPTS TO COMMUNICATE ARE NULLIFIED
BY SAYING TOO MUCH." ~ROBERT GREENLEAF
LESS IS MORE
My wife and I let our daughters know they don't need to cake on make-up to be beautiful; their beauty lies within them. I look at communications similarly. There is beauty in communications, and it lies within the message. When communicating, I apply visual appeal to grab the attention of my audience, and simplicity in crafting the message. Doing so allows me to surgically cut through industry clutter, pique the viewer's interest, and leave them wanting to know more about what I'm offering.
WHAT MOTIVATES ME
I've always been motivated for genuine reasons. The sense of accomplishment in any task I tackle is great; however, I enjoy knowing that what I accomplished not only had an impact, but that I was able to improve myself in the process.
But my main motivation is my family. My wife is amazing, and my kiddos are such a joy to be around. It's because of them that I have such a strong drive to succeed. They are what fuel my drive to put forth my best effort in all that I do.

YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG." ~GROUCHO MARX
HAVE FUN
Life's too short not to have fun. You can find me off-roading, paintballing, rock climbing, hiking - I love to be outdoors, and I love to have fun! But not just in my free time.
Anyone who’s worked with me knows I love to utilize my creativity and vision to lead innovative marketing initiatives – and I make sure we have fun in the process. Having fun builds camaraderie and keeps the creativity alive - and it's contagious!
