Marketeer, Video Producer and all-around swell guy.
Green Bay, Wisconsin Area
I've been doing video, graphic and event production for the better part of my life. Along the way, I've slowly gained a busload of advertising and marketing knowledge through simple osmosis.
Being one cog in the marketing machine for so long has given me the ability to focus on the machine as a whole while also managing my own little cog. The result: I not only grasp the technical side of marketing, I also get the big picture. And you know what? Marketing at its highest level is pretty cool!
Hence my recent change in career direction. I now get to not only do what I'm quite good at - video, graphic and event production - I also get to do what gives me renewed passion.
My primary professional goal in the upcoming years is to be a great marketeer. To me, a great marketeer can weave together all the myriad threads of advertising, public perception, brand, etc. into a cohesive identity and message that says, "Hey, buy me!"
