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.

So yes, that was certainly the most failed rededication in the history of blogging, but perhaps such is life. I will say at least that my commitment to finishing my book at least has had a little more sticking power - a measely 25,000 words but its getting there, and it is a bit better use of free time than too many video games. It is something I have always wanted to do, and I listen to Orson Scott Card or Steven Pressfield speak about writing and all I can think is "that is how my mind works, that would be incredible to do." So, therefore, I intend to do it.
I am sure that is EVER SO INTERESTING to all of you, but, it is the first thing that came to mind and figured it was mildly more interesting than if I started one of my tirades about Iran - which I FULLY intend to do tomorrow - just as a forewarning.

I realize a blog takes about 5 minutes to write and that the daily zen from a daily stream of consciousness data dump is well worth it, so I've decided to commit - a blog a day, as lame, annoying, and useless as they may become. And as cluttered with ramblings of a over-educated geek that looks oh so sexy (as people INSIST on pointing out) in a cowboy hat as the front page may become, I think i owe it to myself, and to the world around me and honestly, civilization as a whole, to share with you all the musings and mutterings of the voices in my head. So with that said, this is indeed a rededication to rambling, a rededication to useless postins, and a redediction to never again let pee wee herman stand as my top blog post for more than a day.
One night a storm hit norman pretty fast and pretty hard. We were watching it from the balcony and I commented that it looked like the apocalypse was upon us. A friend of mine's girlfriend laughed and asked between her laughter why we were still here. I turned to her stone-faced and replied. "Because my dear, the forces of heaven aren't going to destroy themselves."
