I am passionate about transforming complicated ideas into materials, training, or events that ethically influence individuals or businesses to act in a pre-prescribed way. WHY MARKETING?I am a storyteller. I derive intense satisfaction from creating word, music, art, and video that moves people emotionally. And that's all that marketing really is – sharing a story that emotionally moves an individual or group to action. If people feel nothing, they do nothing.My first marketing position was as a Layout Specialist and Pre-press Technician in the mid-'90s. I used Page Maker on a computer with 100kb memory while having to develop film images for brochure layouts in a darkroom in preparation for the printing presses. I thought I was in heaven when I first saw PowerPoint and quickly became known as the "PowerPoint King" in every company I’ve worked for since. And when I saw Adobe Creative Suite? Let’s just say that it was LOVE at first sight.
