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.

Impending Doom

and no I am not talking about the upcoming wedding (oh how clever I am - haha). But, lets face it, the Large Hadron Collider being built at CERN has only two, possibly three outcomes:

1.) Destruction of the earth, possibly destruction of all reality

2.) War with Aliens / Interdemensional beings

3.) Profit

Saw this on Valley Wag - and had to repost -
