You find the ability to explain data & numbers to people who may not “get it”, but need to understand their impact.My brain likes numbers - and my heart likes communication. I have had a lot of success in my career bringing the two together. I love to find the hidden message in a mountain of data – and then translate its meaning to other groups in an organization in a way they can understand.I’m the guy who does logic puzzles for fun and might like explaining the rules of complex board games to people more than actually playing the game.I started out pursuing a career in L.A. movie-making, but soon found I had more of an interest in figuring out complex datasets.
