    About Me I grew up in Oklahoma, and along with everyone here am slightly atypical from what you might expect. I've ridden my share of horses, actually corralled cattle, and have helped build one of the most innovative tech companies in Oklahoma. One of the only tech companies in Oklahoma. I have a borderline obsession with Ancient History and have loved Star Wars as long as I can remember. I read whenever I can, listen to audio books when I can't. A good movie is great, a bad movie with friends can be even better. And in whatever free time I get - I write.
    Position: SVP
    Favorite Projects: Every ONEsite community is so distinctive and unique. There is something incredible about the way each has grown and evolved after it first launch. And part of that comes from the people we work with - with every client we get to work with an incredibly talented group of people. Those independent ideas, thoughts, strategies, and suggestions have driven the platform to be the best in the market. So every project is my favorite - Clear Channel, Univision, BowlSpace. Their communities and the different things each has done with them has been incredible.
    Favorite Experience: I got a call once from someone at Z100 - because Rihanna desperately needed help setting up her page.
    Hobbies: Intelligent conversation, reasonable people, and a group of close friends. The occasional game of Heroscape and whatever video game playing I can get in. You could probably build a pretty good Thad replicant if you got the combination of Ancient History + Science Fiction + Awesome + Dinosaurs + 80's Cartoons + More Awesome + Genius - some ego + some delusions of grandeur + whatever my MBA professors have done to my poor brain. I think that I came out relatively well.

    The Order of the Phoenix

    Sunday, July 15, 2007, 08:33 PM CST [General]

    There is something about magic and wizardry that has always had a special appeal to me, even as I have grown up.  I was lucky enough to have a young sister when the first Harry Potter books came out and so I got an instant introduction.  I have an incredible amount of respect for the talent and imagination it takes to create a world so incredible and enthralling that in can capture the minds of children and adults.  This weekend I took my mom and my little sister (she's now 12) to see Order of the Phoenix.  I have been very cautious of movies.  The last couple of Pirates movies were somewhat disappointing, 300 was good but not Gates of Fire, and a whole slew of movies seemed just mediocre at best.   However, I had incredibly high hopes for Harry Potter 5.  Transformers was a great, great movie, and restored my faith that things that I considered awesome could in fact be made into stunning, entertaining, and fun movies.  For the cost of $10 a ticket + whatever else is needed, movies have to do a lot to be really worth it for me.  And Harry Potter was.  It is a very different movie from the first few.  The story is much darker, the violence in the series more real, the relationships and emotions more strained and complex.  It was a brilliant movie though, I thought every minute was outstanding and honestly can not wait for Elichia to finish reading the book so I can go see it again.
