"Mediocrity isn’t a quest to be pursued — but a derelict deathtrap to be detonated into oblivion… Youth should be spent pursuing your passion — not just slightly, tremulously, haltingly, but unrelentingly, with a vengeance, to the max and then beyond. So dream laughably big — and then take an absurdly huge risk or two. Bet the farm before it’s a ranch, a small town, and an overly comfy place to hang your saddle and your hat. Create something: don’t just be an “employee”, a “manager”, or any other kind of mere mechanic of the present. Be a builder, a creator, an architect of the future."

I lead biz dev & sales at UNION METRICS. We do impact and engagement analytics for Twitter (TweetReach) and Tumblr.


Born and raised in Atlanta, I completed my Master's in Digital Media at Georgia Tech and moved to San Francisco in April 2010 to consult on new media strategy for top companies and consumer brands.
