About me

Industry Marketing
Occupation Marketing Manager
Location St. Cloud, Minnesota
Introduction I am an inventive marketing manager that specializes in online marketing techniques. I am an entrepreneur who's mind is always working on the "next great idea." That "idea" always tends to be one of a few things: 1) an explosive campaign idea for one of my clients that will propel their brand. 2) an innovative invention that could really be a great success 3) a powerful concept for a new business venture that has a viable market with a niche that is looking for company to fulfill a need. I am also passionate about my wife, traveling, and great food. The only thing that tops those three individual passions is when I can enjoy all three at the same time! I also have considered checking into a rehab clinic for an extreme addiction to racquetball. I love all aspects of the game and appreciate playing matches with players of all skill levels.
Favorite Music My favorite music depends on the mood I'm in: A) classic rock when I'm on a mission and ready to get things done. Favorite artists on my playlist: CCR; Boston; and Guns & Roses. B) Opera/Classical Music when I need to relax. Playlist includes: classical piano; Andrea Bocelli; Sarah Brightman; and Il Divo. C) Jazzy-stuff for when I need to decompress; brainstorm; and corral the creative ions bouncing around in my head to craft something dynamic. This playlist includes a wide variety of artists: Michael Buble; Jack Johnson; John Mayer; and Kenny G.
Favorite Books How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie, The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter Series (Hey...I heard that if you don't use the creative and imaginative side of your brain that it would turn to mush)

Which do you prefer and why: whittling with soap or whistling with wood?

That's tough...I've seen some pretty amazing soap sculptures. But I've also seen some pretty happy-go-lucky lumberjacks that have been able to whistle quite the tune. But I guess that I'd rather whistle with wood. Those flannel shirts always look so comfortable!
