Gary Koelling’s Summary
I grew up on a farm wanting to be a writer, went away to the city and
learned how to write then became an advertising account guy. I didn't like
that so I became an advertising Copywriter. I liked that a lot. Then I
became a Creative Director and that's pretty fun too.
My current title is "Sr. Manager, Social Technology" at Best Buy Inc. I am
the founder of BlueShirtNation.com, Giftag.com and lead several social technology projects within Best Buy. I'm a tinkerer, gadfly (aspiring
iconoclast), reader, tryer (someone who tries), teacher and listener (with a
fairly tuned bullshit meter). And though most people either do not believe
it or do not condone it, I find I am better off angry
