Me

A bit about myself in the words of my mother.

I will freely admit that I don’t like talking about myself, but I will try to do my best. I will use some of the words of my biggest supporter and biggest critic, my mother. After all she has known me the longest out of anybody.

To put it simply I am a father, risk taker, thinker, visionary, below average photographer, techie, early adopter, and an overall good guy. Through my life I have found teamwork and personal dedication is paramount to creating great products. I am my biggest critic. I don’t believe in working in a vacuum and find that ideas are best bounced of others. I am not too formal nor too relaxed.

                                                    How I like to think of myself, sans alcohol.

My Experience

Life has given me the opportunity to work in the most varied jobs and locations imaginable. From walking the streets of Iraq, to recruiting for the US Army, to working on national policy to presenting multi-million projects to Army generals.

I am a social media nut. My recent work has found me deeply involved in the development of the utilization of social media for information operations. My focus has been on understanding how social media works and how you can measure the effect from social media. Social media metrics, statistics, and analytics have been the focus of my work for the last three years.
