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.
A few members of the ONEsite team made the way down to Dallas for the annual QuakeCon event - basically 4 days of more video games than any normal human should endure. The Dallas morning news described it as a "sea of pale and pasty flesh flooding Dallas." For some of us, this has been an almost decade long tradition, but a few of the group we went with got to experience it for the first time. It is always pretty exciting, and not a bad escape from reality for a few days. They had individuals come from as far as Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and certainly from all of the US. And yes, for a lot of us, it was like the mother ship had come home.
Here's a few of us - You can barely see Josh's head behind the electric router orw ahtever it was, the rest of us you can see our backs, and barely make out Hayes's face. There was enough electricty in the room to power a town of a bout 40,000.
Optimus Prime was not absent from the event. This is actually a computer case that the winner of the case competition created - $15,000 and 300 hours of construction + a little energon, and a lot of luck.
QuakeCon has a few yearly traditions - the same QuakeCon girls always show up to MC he events, and the same beverage of choice is always on hand in ample quantities.
