I am a fearless creative, skillful communicator, and a no-excuses kind of guy. I am a 2015 graduate of James Madison University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Communication (Public Relations). I was involved in Public Relations Student Society of America, University Program Board, and Madison American Advertising Federation during my time at JMU. I am now an MBA Candidate (Marketing Concentration) at Louisiana State University, so you could say I have a thing for purple and yellow.

As a digital marketing professional, I specialize in social media, learning new trends/platforms, impactful networking, strategic research, brand building, content creation, creative engagement and above all, writing. I am a see-the-big-picture individual with prime communication skills that bring together diverse departments to develop a cohesive program. Working is all I know, considering I have had a job since I was legally able to at the age of fifteen. These past seventeen years of experience have shaped my views of a strong work ethic and getting the job done right, no matter the obstacles.

I was born in Washington D.C., but raised in Bethesda, MD. After graduating college, I lived in Baltimore, DC, and now I currently reside in the Philadelphia area. I love everything to do with movies, music and writing. My favorite movie is Donnie Darko. My favorite genre of music is Indie Rock. My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut. And in high school I wrote a book titled, “Suburban Riot,” in hopes of getting published one day. I am still currently working on a few unfinished manuscripts as a hobby.

Some claim to fame’s that I have are: I am a part of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, I received the Norma Berkeley Communication Studies Award, and I have never been beaten in a game of Mario Kart Double Dash (84-0).

If you were to ask someone to sum up my personality in five words they would say: passionate, dedicated, instinctive, meticulous, and loyal.
