Business / Marketing
Im a dash of designer, businessman, and copywriter, but my true passion is
creating delightful experiences by bringing together the tools and knowledge
of a great team. I understand how designers think, but Im not a designer. I
have a love of words, but I am not a copywriter. I believe that business
strategy starts with someone who understands what their team can do, and
ends with the ability to tie all those strengths together in a pitch. I can find
the market. I can invigorate the people I work with. I can define strategy, but
more importantly, I can bring together a group of people with divergent skills,
kick ass, and bring creativity to life.

I hold all the attributes of a

person you would expect to
grow along side a company,
manage his duties in stride, and
deliver results for any given task.
Although I am fairly new to this
industry, I have a willingness to
succeed. I am looking to gain a
professional, real-world experience
at an Ad agency and devlop a
portfolio that would inspire others.
One day, I will be the best.
