While short-lived, my time served with Cuttlefish Marketing was to help develop the graphic content used for websites or promotional marketing material for Cuttlefish Marketing customers/businesses.

A short lived record label created to promote two bands: Tiger Heist and A Step Ahead. Co Founders Jon Renner, Nicole Lough and Mike H. Melton collaborated efforts to release albums from both groups grew into an idea and model that had great potential for growth. Eventually they each went their own ways down different paths in life but their model still remains as a great means of managing artists and artist service providers such as producers, videographers, photographers, graphic designers, etc..

In my brief experience working for Big Two Toyota in Chandler, Arizona I worked hard to develop an understanding of how to create value for a product in order to make sales. Whether it was blind calling customers to book appointments, or showcasing vehicles out on the lot for walk-ups, there is a great amount of knowledge gained while working at this Toyota Dealership. My ability to express product value as well as generate blind leads for our sales team was an essential asset in my ability to close a deal on new or used vehicles. While working with Big Two my strong leadership attributes were able to shine through when upper management invited me to attend a private event for the 2016 Scion model releases.
