Graduate of University of San Diego and ASU Thunderbird. In 1993, I founded my agency, Catalyst, emphasizing strategic marketing, advertising, branding, sales & special events. I have worked with international, national and regional clients from consumer brands, to non-profits & medias. I have lived and worked in Denmark, France, Italy and South Africa, speak 6 languages, and have overseen projects in Mexico, South Africa and Europe for AT&T, Kellogg's & Kimberly Clark among others. Past clients include; BMW, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, Monsanto, True Value Hardware, American Red Cross, Reuben H Fleet Science Center, City of San Diego, and California State Parks. I have worked with retailers, product manufacturers, service providers, governmental and non-governmental agencies and media organizations. Just after graduate school, I founded Catalyst Marketing in 1993. In 2013, I joined new partners in creating StyleSeek™, a highly accurate style algorithm based shopping site for men and women, matching customer aspirations to clothing for any life occasions. In late 2013, I created, crowdfunded, and launched PreFAB Space, a co-working, special event, pop-up retail space for start-up entrepreneur makers. In 2014, I successfully incubated 12 start-ups. I have taught marketing, advertising, creative copy writing, cause marketing, trend spotting, and global business courses since 1999 at UCSD, FIDM, CIBU, and I am currently teaching through Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College. I launched BootHunter (following of 45K+) as an Instagram based creative cosult, mentor, and designer to established small and medium sized makers and crafted brands. I work with numerous leather goods and footwear manufacturers across the globe. I am currently the Director of Marketing for SWARCO McCain, a pioneer in advanced traffic control products and subsidiary of Austrian based Swarovski. I am also in the process of starting up a consultancy focused on melding style & innovation @moduscondito. There is nothing random about design and style, or their alignment, this is truer today than ever. Driving the need for innovation, style & design alignment are several factors, most notably social media engagement, and the cycles of in influence, recommendation, trial, feedback, and validation. Whether the esthetic design is related to electronics or appliances, homes or personal transport, or apparel and hospitality, and so many other categories, I will work with clients to design that is purposefully inspired and contextually driven.

Listed skills include Brand Development, Marketing Strategy, Social Media Marketing, Marketing, and 46 others.
