Career
“If you were to title your autobiography, what would it be called?” asked the interviewer.
“The Accidental Career,” I replied without hesitation, “The Accidental Career.”
In trying to avoid a chained-to-a-computer career, I pursued a liberal arts education that I thought would put me on a trajectory to spend as little time as possible in a sedentary state. Instead, by choice, chance, and circumstance, my career path has focused on creating opportunities for businesses by using digital marketing and communications and spending an inordinate amount of time working with computers. We often find our destiny in the very paths we take to avoid it, right? 
I’ve made a career of using technology and creativity to solve problems and grow businesses. So how did I get to this point in my career?
People tell me I’m good at several things:
- Making complex concepts or tools easier to understand and use in business settings
- Cutting through the clutter to find or create the best way
- Always approaching situations with a unique perspective
- Being 10 steps ahead in considering “what if we…?”
- Using design and written communications to aid in decision-making

Those characteristics, and a wide variety of experiences over the last 15 years, have built a repertoire in and around web and interactive strategy with some awesome brands you know. In essence, I’ve used both sides of my brain to turn good ideas into awesome solutions for startups, small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and global brands.
