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:
VP, Marketing
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.

There is a book, Illussions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, written by Richard Bach in 1977. I had to read it in high school. A lot of the books you read in high school you expect - the old classics, the same that your parents had to read in high school, and their parents before them. This book was different - it is one of those books that really sticks with you, and one that you will pick up and read again and again and each time find something different. The past couple of days have been some of the busiest that I have ever had - more work, more to do, and more on the line. And all through those days I have had one qoute from Illussions rolling around in my head.
"In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice."
So there it is - if you want to live up to your potential, live happy, and do what you want to do - its going to take work. Hard work. You are going to have to be busy. Now - I am not saying that you have to sacrifice balance, but you certainly do have to sacrifice boredom.
