Creative junky. Social media enthusiast. Apple lover. Serial entrepreneur, founding sam101, MedicMinder, aBi, and DigBook Publishing.
While other kids were glued to their TV and worrying about a tan, you could find me reading another Zig Ziglar book, or drawing my next commissioned portrait. I consider myself to be a Lifelong learner, self-motivated in the pursuit of knowledge for both personal and professional reasons and have spent my entire career working in marketing communications.
A designer in love with all things creative, for whom social media/marketing and entertraining (that would be entertaining and training combined) are always my passion—as well as cooking, reading, comedy and theatre.
While my dream of working with Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball didn’t work out, it didn’t stop me from pursuing my own standup comedy experience in the mid-90’s. Comedy set off a spark (fire, desire) in me, it was a drug and I needed more! In 1998, I became an equity stage manager that is essentially the head traffic controller of the live production.
I love cheese, beer, my dogs that I call my babies, building my collection of books and buying paper and pens than I can’t possibly use in a lifetime. I try to be a good person by volunteering my design skills to a limited number of non-profit organizations yearly.
I enjoy a cup of coffee but only on the weekends and I blame Olivia Newton-John for my lifelong fascination with Australia. Batman is my all time hero. The Joker was my favorite villain. I collect fast food toys and I love them even more when they have sound. The kid in me still enjoys Disney and Pixar animation while the adult in me is in amazed at the fact that the average Pixar animation runs 24 frames per second at 4000 pixels wide!
