What Success Looks Like to Me: Success is a balance of accomplishment, satisfaction and well-being — at work and at home. Success must be measured through multiple lenses to ensure that one priority doesn’t get out of alignment with another.

Favorite Quote: “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” — Walt Disney

What Motivates Me Right Now: We are resetting the company after five years with private equity. I’m motivated to build an agency that clients love working with and people love working at. 

What Would Surprise Someone to Learn About Me: My background is not in marketing — it’s in computer science. I have learned all I know about marketing through daily interactions with great clients and peers. 

Outside of Work You’ll Find Me: Watching baseball at Progressive Field. For me, baseball is a perfect combination of strategy, action and numbers.
