Background

For the past 25 years I have helped organizations understand, engage and support their customers to strengthen their brand, improve their products and create better experiences for all stakeholders, internally and externally. While my roles and titles have changed over time, my passion to connect people, ideas and resources remains at the core of what I do.

Most of my professional life has been spent in and around technology companies, with an emphasis on bridging the gap between technology and people. This has been accomplished in sales, marketing, customer support, community management and senior leadership roles. Core to each of these positions is developing education and mentoring programs, which is most prominently been displayed in my work as President of Social Media Club, a 501(c)6 not for profit industry association and community organization I co-founded in 2006.

I like to think of myself as a versatile generalist who is focused on empowering folks with knowledge to make the best decisions for themselves and deepening our online relationships with offline gatherings.

I don’t post that often on my blog, or haven’t really since I found a new venting vehicle in Twitter, but find some things just can’t be said in 140 characters so express randomly in this space. And boy do I mean random…this is not a website focused on community or marketing or sports or health care – like my background, it is an assortment of what is on my mind at that particular time and can cover everything from customer support examples to my deep love for shoes. It is my space. It is what I find interesting.
