First and foremost, I’m a creator. I create, therefore, I am.
I like to build things, specifically things that solve problems or communicate ideas. I’m an avid seeker of weird problems, and if I can’t seem to find preexisting solutions to those problems, my first instinct is to begin crafting those solutions.
My career has spanned over fifteen years in global-scale IT, alongside an alternate professional focus in content production, talent development, social media management, video editing, web development, and so much more.
Nothing gets me up in the morning quite like the opportunity to shape ideas. I enjoy designing mechanisms that make ideas stick in the mind, especially when that information leads to someone becoming stronger, smarter, and more confident in their own ability. To me, there’s no higher calling than taking a concept that’s difficult to understand and making it easy for anyone to grasp.
I believe wholeheartedly in the power of technology. I’ve spent my entire career getting intimately comfortable with an arsenal of tools designed to forge unforgettable ideas and concepts. Beyond all else, I believe in the liberating power of education, and I have spent a great deal of time researching the mechanics behind how human beings best commit knowledge to memory.
I’ve created brands, managed communities, built things that have helped people as well as entertain them, and I’m proud to have helped refine the skills of some extremely talented people that have worked underneath me.
The only question is: What can we do together?
