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.

This came from a Hoover's article (slightly edited), but I thought was excellent advice (and I watched the same show). It reminded me of a book I read, the War of Art - good advice for anything.
A couple of weeks ago I was watching a nature show with my kids. It talked all about the lives of cheetahs on the savannah. I found out that mother cheetahs, in order to feed their young and fuel their own low-fat, high-performance bodies, must hunt every single day. If they go a day without capturing any prey, they might make it; if they go two days, they probably won’t. That’s how close they live to the border between survival and starvation, all the time.
We are lucky to not be in a similiar circumstance, still -
Find what you’re after and go for it — now, not later. Your survival may depend on it.
