I hear the word "creative" every day. I have chosen to immerse myself in a variety of worlds which fit that mold in different ways. I strive to be a creative being and produce "creative" things, whatever they may be, with a sense of integrity and fine-tuned excellence.

September 2008 — June 2009 (10 months)
Providing Account and Project Management services with a focus on all interactive/web projects.
I make sure clients are always happy, aren't in the dark or asking for items out of scope with what was planned. On the other spectrum, I make sure designers and programmers are getting projects executed and we are providing the perfect solution for the client's needs.
You could call me a translator if you will- I put things like "Make it Pop" and "You know... add some flair" into perspective for the creative team while laying down expectations, explaining processes and creative decisions to the clients so that they understand what is going on.
On top of all that, I write proposals, collaborate with team members to brainstorm ideas, play invoice police from time to time, and of course stay on top of twitter, facebook and our blog.
Oh- and I've also been know to design/program email templates, set up blogs, and play wannabe code monkey. Let's just say that I wear many hats. :-)

I am a host for the popular video game, Rock Band. Basically, my goal is to get people up, playing and having fun at a different venue each night. With this comes a great deal of necessary enthusiasm, patience, convincing, and management.
Skills/ Duties include:
• Setup/Breakdown/Cabling of Rock Band Setup (including 4 individual monitors in front of each instrument)
• Distribution of Song Lists and organization of sign-up sheet for "bands" to play
• Announcement of event details as well as witty and humorous remarks in regards to how the evening is going over the microphone
• Quick tutorials for players new to the Rock Band Game so all levels can enjoy it
• Not being afraid to fill in for missing band players- this may include singing 5 Metallica songs in a row despite my apparent lack of a deep sinister and raspy voice
• Sly ability to change the order of play to allow new players time on stage and time management to make sure the evening runs smoothly
