DRIVE is a full-service marketing agency offering creative/design capabilities including videos, animation in 2D and 3D, full collateral development, direct mail, website design, logo design and merchandise/branding services for corporate gifts and apparel.I manage our sustainable products offerings. This includes our exclusive corporate partner, Recover Brands, who manufactures 100% recycled apparel. We make high-quality t-shirts, polo shirts, fleece, and much more out of used plastic water bottles and industrial cotton scraps. Our apparel is made in the USA, then cut and sewn in Guatemala and Haiti. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of plastic in our waste stream, oceans and landfills. PET bottles take 600 to 700 years to degrade in our landfills. Pricing of our garments is competitive and in line with virgin cotton and moisture wicking apparel. You cannot tell the difference between our garments and normal cotton and poly ones... excellent soft hand quality.DRIVE was founded on the belief that branded merchandise and creativity work hand-in-hand and that partnerships are developed through hard work with a commitment to seeing our jobs done right. We also firmly believe that it's the people that make the difference. Our team is full of driven individuals who make every project a personal mission to give it their all.

I lead the Portland Chapter of the Oregon Alumni Assn. We have over 45,000 alumni in the greater Portland area, the largest for any city. Our board and volunteers help connect alumni through several events. This includes our Duck football watch parties at Cinetopia in their Beaverton location; Science Nights at Widmer Brewing feature leading UO professors and Deans; and, our Duck Happy Hour and Biz Lunch networking events. There are many more Portland area alumni events that we coordinate with our UOAA staff members. Funds we raise at these events go into our Portland scholarship fund to help local area high school students to attend Oregon and achieve their educational goals.
