I've always believed that marketing is about conversations and learning is about experiences. And I know (now) that in a world where messaging and content are literally everywhere, that it's PEOPLE who will always be the best medium to impart knowledge and influence interest.Early in my career, I noticed most companies struggled to humanize their brand and effectively interact face-to-face with their target consumer. This led me to start Attack!, a staffing and field marketing agency designed to place brand ambassadors who embodied the products they were promoting. Eight years in, I helped grow Attack! into one of the country’s top experiential marketing firms, reaching millions of consumers through live events and retail engagement.This success, paired with author credits on John Wiley and Sons’, Applied Marketing and You Got This! business series, immersed me in the world of higher education where I see a very similar challenge: classrooms struggling to integrate experiential learning into a student’s academic journey. I truly believe – just as a sales cycles shorten when consumers get to experience a product for themselves – that students achieve mastery of a skill faster when they have the opportunity to apply their classroom learning to the real world.I am now putting this into practice through the use of dynamic media production and immersive learning techniques at WiseThat. My passion is in creating a world where experience-driven education practices are integrated everywhere formal learning happens – K-12, higher education, and the workplace. Ultimately, I know that institutions and businesses thrive when students are connected to subject matter experts, practitioners, and industry-authentic learning scenarios. Sharing solutions with others in industry and academia is what I love most. Outside of work, I dedicate part of my time to speaking, authoring and consulting in the spirit of scholarship, and the free exchange of ideas within our space. I grew up in Kansas City, but have had my feet in the SoCal sand for the past 23 years. I reside in the South Pasadena area of Los Angeles with my two smart, creative and kind sons, Tyler and Cameron, who just within the last few months can finally take their old man at checkers.
