Recently I read an opinion piece in the New York Times called, “The Flight From Conversation,” that struck a chord, as I’m sure it does for many of us. It highlighted the current state of our “always on” culture –the seeming need for constant digital connectivity while sacrificing RL conversation for mere connection. And the [...]

This weekend I made the trek to celebrate my 10-year high school reunion from Homewood High School located in Homewood, AL – my hometown nestled in an area south of Red Mountain, and to locals, lovingly named the suburb community “over the mountain”. It was an exceptional place to grow up, with all the resources [...]

Neil Sedaka said it best in 1962, “breaking up is hard to do,” and with today’s technology and constant lines of communications to our former flings and romances, it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier.

Last year I went through a break up with someone I had dated for awhile that was also in [...]

Each year I eagerly await and anxiously plan my annual trips to Austin, TX for South by Southwest, known for being the cat’s meow of all nerd conferences. Where brands, marketers, technologists, and innovative startups intersect. The intensity and caliber of innovative technology and services that come out each year leave me in a head [...]

Can we move the industry beyond social media lipstick?

Last night I had the pleasure of entertaining one of my favorite folks from the Seattle social media scene – Kevin Urie. Kevin, the president of Seattle Social Media Club (at least for the next month) is one of those rare finds in the marketing industry. He’s driven by passion, and it’s clear that he [...]

Living in the Age of Dating Immediacy

One of the things I find most interesting about how the digital age how the way we curate, connect and meet relationship and dating prospects has completely shifted. The ideal of girl meets boy in some love-at-first-sight/incredibly romantic way went out the window years ago forcing singletons throughout the universe to seek alternate methods….

…and [...]

It was more than two years ago when I took the step to pack up my life in Seattle, and pursue a position within Digitas Social. And in my 2+ years here, I learned from the smartest folks in the business, worked on incredible brands, and helped build award winning campaigns.The support [...]

Site Under Construction

I think you’re all very deserving of an update, which I’ll be giving you in less than 24 hours, but before then I wanted to let you know that I’ve had some challenges with my site as of late (as if that wasn’t obvious).

About six months ago, I had some massive life changes both [...]

What’s the face of your brand?

So, first thing is first. I want to apologize for neglecting you all for so long. There has been a lot of moving parts in my life (both professional and personal), that have prevented me from checking in with you all. While I would like to say the dust clouds have settled, there is still [...]
