I enjoy investigating and solving business puzzles - the kind solved between the ears or through collaboration, and aided by judicious, creative use of available tools. I endeavor to be an ingenious storyteller and mechanic whose puzzle-solving toolbox includes message creation, design, and refinement while adding programming and artistic skills to create and manage environments for appropriate delivery. My professional pedigree includes more than 15 years of experience balancing creative and analytical skills with IT programming and web development obtained from positions in corporate, academic, and nonprofit. My strong skills in innovation and agile, improvisational thinking help me to create, refine, and enhance business goals. Experience touching multiple industries taught me an extensive, adaptable vocabulary and an ability to quickly intuit new ones. I'm adept at at asking questions to discover the root of a problem, and thinking creatively to translate difficult concepts, or distill them into simpler, manageable terms.Unlike a jigsaw puzzle with a single, clear picture; business puzzles often change and aren't solved alone. My improvisation and live television directing experience provide skills to anticipate, react and adapt solutions in collaborative environments, often using only available resources.
