I deeply believe that there is creativity in every job on Earth. From the beautiful creative fields of design and artistry, to the profound and nuanced creativity of mathematics and analysis. Using talent and experience to shift perspective and find new pathways in any field demonstrates vision and innovation. I am a brand specialist with forward facing and B2B experience in creative marketing, digital content strategy, hospitality and the arts. I am driven by communication and research. This means I am always ready to expand my understanding and expertise with people, products and information to benefit the client and reach the goal.My current position is marketing properties and products to people in the travel and leisure space. This requires me to use a variety of skills to not only sell but develop experiences —and the places and things that people need to have those experiences. My job allows me to design spaces that make people feel things. To accomplish this I first have to know what they want to feel. By analyzing current trends in travel, social behavior, and consumer preference, I am able to determine the most successful way to market homes, vehicles and products for the traveling public. This is why I say that there is creativity in every field. Whether designing an outdoor space that invites guests to want to sit by the pool all day in lieu of leaving the house, or coming up with a quantifiable metric for forecasting the future behavior of a target audience, it is a pure joy to research, shape and execute an experience and plan of action. When not working (and a lot of times while working) I am also a father balancing workload and family time. Raising a toddler with my wife has given new meaning to outside of the box thinking. As anyone with a young busybody at home knows, communication and creativity are the most important skills you can have. No request is off the table in our house, it's just a matter of strategizing the best way to accomplish that goal and selling that idea to a 3 year old.My personal interests lie in still photography, building, and the lore of J.R.R. Tolkien. I bring my camera everywhere to document moments, though mostly happily taking outfit photos of my wife. I am a professional grade furniture builder and restorer. A great creative outlet for me is purchasing items on auction or estate sales and restoring them. And every night I read a few pages of fantasy to our son. In nearly 3 years we have read the LOTR trilogy (with supporting material) twice.
