Summary of Experience
In 17 years of helping F500 and SMB clients make their mark on the world, I've helped clients gain an audience, develop relationships, and achieve success. My extensive technical IT and creative internet marketing combination has allowed me to create strong results for corporations and nonprofits in global as well as local capacities. My passion is helping nonprofits and businesses connect with great people through cause marketing and social good branding. Since starting in tech in early 1994, when the potential of the internet was still morphing, media and technology have been a constant fascination. Connecting people and ideas in smart ways has become easier and faster, and social media continues to allow more creativity and global reach. Social media, networking, search, security, advertising, design, writing, metrics, social good, analytics - after more than 17 years of outside executive sales and consulting experience, it continues to be a fun, rapidly-evolving learning environment. The cornerstone of my philosophy: Turn creative, innovative ideas for helping into results in the most efficient and effective ways, by combining technology + passionate people. Social good is also smart business. Everybody wins! We all have the power to shape the future. In April 2011 I will be climbing Mera Peak in Nepal (across from Mount Everest) with 12 other social media fanatics for charity. "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." - Anne Frank
