Media & Marketing Director

2015 – Current

At the fulcrum of science and art is where a strategist lives. Magic is created for brands when the delicate balance of these two poles are exacted in such a way that creativity flourishes eliciting the desired response from the target audience. Whether it’s stirring an emotion or initiating an action, a true strategist understands that the power that comes from wielding a metaphorical wand goes beyond just “abracadabra.” Excising the true power of creative strategy comes from years of grit and passion and a skin that’s not afraid to collect a few scars along the way.

D.F.C. Candles

2017 – Current

D.F.C. Candles is an artisanal candle company that was established in 2017 with the purpose of evoking memories of experiences through travels and road trips across the west. Representing the regions of deserts, forests, and coasts, these environmental fragrances are meant to transport oneself from the doldrums of the smog-choked cities to the refreshing escape that lies beyond the asphalt.

Sales Ace

2004-2015

What does it take to be a successful sales person? Thick skin? Stamina? Reward-driven? Yes, yes, and yes. But it also takes love, creativity, and an innate desire to see success, not just for oneself, but for those around them. Success for clients, success for coworkers, and success for their company. When all of these pistons are working properly the heat and energy that is produced from hard work will ensure the engine takes one where they want to go.
