I am a long time Seattle resident, and grew up just down the road from the Tombolo Institute in the comfy confines of Newport Hills. My studies took me to Gonzaga University where I dabbled in Engineering and landed in Marketing, while taking up rowing to keep my competitive juices flowing. Rowing ended up providing me an opportunity to train with the US National Team ahead of both the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. While I didn't ultimately make the team, the experience was formative and gave me great tools for my life in the business world.
My professional history has been anchored in digital since the late '90s where I started by designing and coding ecommerce and CMS solutions. Eventually, I left the technical side to those more talented than myself, and headed into digital strategy and leadership positions which I have held for the last 12+ years (both on the consulting and industry side). I have had the pleasure of working with, and for, brands large and small over the years including Microsoft, HTC, AT&T, Holland America, Funko, Razorfish, Accenture, Costco and PACCAR. I'm excited to bring this experience to bear as part of the Advisory Board.
