Put yourself in a Claritas PRIZM cluster– Hmmm, I don’t believe one individual can be put into one cluster. There are about 3 or 4 I can relate to, but aren’t there a few missing? For instance, is there is a cluster for Alex Supertramp?

What’s your favorite website? Netvibes.com because it brings me all of my website content into one place!

What’s your favorite movie quote? It is a tie between “HOLD THE LINE!” from Gladiator and “Do or not do, there is no try” from Star Wars
What is the best thing to do in Chicago/ Boston? Chicago: See any show at Charter One Pavilion at Northerly Island, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, or Lollapalooza. Boston: Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular

If you could pick one mentor from history, who would that be? John Adams or Winston Churchill
What is your favorite travel destination? Chicago – Because no matter where I go there is nothing more fulfilling to me as coming back to this beautiful, eclectic, elegant, Midwestern city of endeavor. The lake, the architecture, the location, the neighborhoods, the history, the seasons and the people always fill me with a sense of passion, adventure, energy and a sense of being home.

A free piece of digital media advice is: Embrace change as it is the only constant. Digital technology will someday permeate every form of media, so the key to evolving is taking the first step. With any digital media direction that you choose be sure that you are operating with the assurance that you are on the forefront of this change, yet that every single partner you engage takes the risk out of your decisions and aligns every digital strategy and tactic with your business goals and objectives
I hope my clients find me to be: Collaborative and that my work is impactful against their goals and objectives
I find digital media marketing to be: A true asset to every organization and I am glad to be in the industry because it is entrepreneurial, growing businesses, creating jobs and thus fueling a positive impact for society
My team at Fuor Digital is: Amazing and fun, they constantly blow me away with their passion, dedication, knowledge, diligence, intelligence and commitment to a work/life balance
True professionalism in my digital media career means: Always going above and beyond to produce results and being a trusted advisor
When I am not applying my skills to my digital media career, you will most likely find me: Contemplating or partaking in activities that help or may help me to advance my “joie de vivre”
