    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.

    Oklahoma 2.0 - Labor Omnia Vinci

    As the economy has been rocked, and the valley and the alley both find themselves filled with struggling companies desperate to stay afloat as they drain their funding and are forced to make cuts, I have developed a much greater appreciation for ONEsite's position.

    ONEsite has always had its key competitive advantages, almost unfair advantages, in our technology and our team. 

    But it is the discplined business we have built, without outside investment and through hard work and dedication, that now gives us a razor sharp competitive edge.

    Now those companies that are nothing but features, or at best a collection of features, begin to falter.  ONEsite is not just a company, but a true business.  We are not just a collection of features but a true platform.  We are not just techies looking for our next gig but employees dedicated to success.  And it shows, and now it has put us in a position of strength.

    It was not some grand strategy or secret plan, but the culture of a company and a state that has been through boom and bust, through good times and rougher times, and where Labor Omnia Vinci.  It's the simple, common-sense idea of building a business.
