    Bottle Rocket Nov 2013 - Dec 2014
    Dallas/Fort Worth Area
    2013 was a year of critical mass for our business. I continued to grow and manage the Thruster team while my role on the executive team was focused on seeking out strategic partners that would take our company vision to the next level. In November of 2013 we joined the WPP family and started scaling our business to meet the mobile demands for several of the worlds top advertising agencies.Today I am focusing on efforts that will pull us into the future of mobile (or better said ’The Internet of Things’) including research and development on platforms such as VR and AR, imaging / 3D technology, wearables, beacons and more. We are a 24/7 connected society now and the coming years will see tremendous growth in data collection and analysis for better decision making. My goal is to help Bottle Rocket identify the right technologies to go deep on and find new ways for customers to engage with the brands they love!

    Vice President, Thruster
    Bottle Rocket May 2011 - Nov 2013
    Dallas/Fort Worth Area
    In early 2011 we made a move to focus on consumer engagement as a key offering to our clients. Based on our experiences from the dot com days, and our initial success on mobile with a couple of home grown games, we formed a group named Thruster to focus on propelling hot brands in new directions with top-flight social, gaming and entertainment apps for mobile.We incubated this small group to prove its success, and found it early with hits like Annoying Orange: Kitchen Carnage which skyrocketed to #5 on the paid charts in less than a day after launch. We knew then that the power of connecting brand with gaming was a key strategy for user stickiness and began to scale the team to meet client demand in everything from branded games to simulation and visualization.Over the first couple of years we built a portfolio of over a dozen custom experiences for brands and built a consumer facing publishing brand out of Thruster which has amassed over 6.8M unique users and over 1,200 years of time spent in our apps.

    Production Manager
    Bottle Rocket Oct 2009 - May 2011
    Dallas/Fort Worth Area
    I came aboard The Rocket as the “First Follower” in late 2009. Founder Calvin Carter and I have known each other for over 17 years and shared an extreme enthusiasm about the future of mobile and what we could do to help get it there. Long days huddled at Starbucks splitting time between app design, engineering and making key decisions on when and how to grow eventually gave way to Bottle Rocket becoming a recognized leader in the mobile industry. My first formal role in the company was to hire and manage the production team which included engineering, strategy & design, project management and quality assurance. During this time we grew from 2 to 35 employees and we developed award winning solutions for brands early to adopt the mindset of ‘mobile first’ including NPR, Disney, The History Channel, BET, SPIN Magazine, Amex, ESPN, Discovery Channel and more.During this time I also worked closely with the founder and other leaders in the organization to identify new opportunities to grow the business, architect good process for how we deliver our services and managed most of the people development aspects of the business.
