I'm a digital marketer specializing in online content, with a professional focus on identifying and exploiting areas of growth across all platforms to reach audiences through multiple touch-points.

Most recently, I have been working to build and expand the reach and engagement of the the brands in the Advanstar Automotive protfolio. Previously, I have worked with respected international brands in entertainment and technology, including consulting on product launches for Microsoft and creating integrated marketing campaigns with MTV Networks targeting the coveted male/18-34 demographic. I've also managed licensing programs for retail music giant DMX, and created one of the most extensive and comprehensive independent musical databases anywhere.

An entrepreneur at heart, I began my career having created MyKideo, a revolutionary online streaming video service for working parents to stay connected with their young children when in day care.

Being an internet junkie, I'm always on the lookout for the newest and coolest examples of digital creativity and ingenuity.
