I built my first BBS in 1992 (when the so-called "world wide web" was $8/hr plus long distance) and have been actively part of the evolution of what we now call social media.
My passion is helping businesses think outside the box to develop social strategies that take the online world offline. My favorite part of social media is that it is a fluid, evolving medium that keeps me on my toes.
I especially enjoy helping businesses get started in the social media space, but also love crafting tactics that help larger brands take their work to a new level. Proving ROI doesn't scare me.
