A nomad most of my life, I have lived and traveled to many far-away lands, seen many treasures, and met many wondrous people. A native of Cleveland, I have been able to use my stick-to-it Midwestern roots to face the everyday challenges that a life of adventure and intrigue throws at you.
At the age of 17 I began working in PR firms in Texas and by 18 I was studying commercial photography and imaging at one of the nation's primer art schools. Working alongside the movers and shakers at the forefront of the industry I helped educate many photographers, stylists, and assistants in the new and upcoming digital mediums earning a solid reputation as digital imaging expert.
My career adventure didn't stop at photography. In 2002 the nomad bug struck again and I was off to live in France where I studied Urban Form and Design all over the European continent. From there it was off to Chile to learn about the upraise in the wine market and help wine makers there break into the American market. Upon my return to the mainland, I dove into database-web integration and gathered up the greatest web minds that I knew and together built a system that is still used today by independent U.S. newspapers and weeklies.
Through my experience working with DJ's and promoters in the club and music scene, I absorbed the viral way people were moved and influenced. Utilizing just SMS, social networks, email, and a strategic cultivation campaign the list of followers grew from 4000 to 21,000 in just one year, bringing my in-depth understanding and experience of the new network based marketing world.
My ongoing passion for a better brighter way in living and working is
reflected in the work and convictions of our CED team. I am very proud
to stand in line with these amazing yet modest people and like the rest
of the team bring everything I've got to the table to make each individual
project, big or small, a wild success.
