My title is Group Account Manager

But really I'm the Lieutenant.

• I got into this business because I have more fun doing this than any other job I’ve ever had.
• I think the smartest thing anyone said about marketing is that you don’t need to reach everyone; you need to reach the influencers.
• The road taught me that if you approach life with a sense of adventure even the difficult and unexpected parts become exciting.
• The strangest experience I’ve had so far is living on a tour bus during Ozzfest ‘04.
• I grew up in Minneapolis.  It taught me that being a Vikings fan is almost as hard as being a Cubs fan.
• Whenever I yell at the TV during sporting events, that’s my father coming through.
• I will always ask how we can improve.
• When I see how far mobile marketing has come since I started, I get very excited for the future.
• Throwing parties in college actually helped me prepare for this.  Because it involved promotion, planning, execution, and creative thinking. I threw pretty good parties!
• The first thing I ever sold was greeting cards - door to door when I was very young.
• If my life has a soundtrack, it would sound like Ratatat remixing The Hold Steady while Hot Snakes and Nirvana look on approvingly.
• The first marketing ad I remember is “Zack the Legomaniac.”
• When I’m not doing this I’m…wait, I’m usually doing this.
• I went to school at Concordia College Moorhead and studied Psychology & Business.  I wanted to be a psychologist. When I changed my mind I thought that a business degree would give me plenty of options.
• If forced to give up Chicago winters, I’d probably have a better tan.
• My favorite movie is Office Space.  It teaches me that if you don’t love what you do things go terribly wrong. And then hilarity ensues.
• The best place I’ve ever visited is Chicago! I liked it so much I moved here.
• I refuse to buy houseplants because I always end up with a house full of dead plants.
• I believe this business is all about staying in the right mindset. Have fun and it will come through in your events.
• I’m good at this because I’m passionate about it.
