I have over 13 years in marketing, sales, and online lead generation across a variety of platforms with a strong focus on teaching people how to use technology to do great things in business and nonprofit industries.

I also volunteer with many organizations in the Houston community and have a passion for entrepreneurship and technology, in particular.  In addition to active participation in the Houston American Marketing Association, Social Media Breakfast Club, Social Media Club, Houston Chapter, and Houston Interactive Marketing Association, I also play key roles with the following organizations:
