My "day" job: 
I joined Engauge Digital (formerly Spunlogic) in December 2007 as VP of Business Development and Marketing where I am responsible for attracting and retaining new clients. 

Before Spunlogic, I spent almost 8 years at KnowledgeStorm.  As one of KnowledgeStorm's earliest employees in February 2000, I worked there until it was acquired by TechTarget (NASDAQ: TTGT) in November 2007. At the time of acquisition, I served as director of strategic accounts with sales responsibility for Oracle, Infor, Consona, CA, IFS, and Cognos. During my tenure at KnowledgeStorm, I held various roles including senior manager of major accounts, account manager, manager of business intelligence, account development manager, and major account executive. 

Previous to KnowledgeStorm, I was Store Manager for 3 years for Eddie Bauer in New Orleans, LA; then Jackson Hole, WY; and then Atlanta, GA.  Before working at Eddie Bauer, I was Assistant Store Manager for Abercrombie & Fitch, Co. in New Orleans, LA for 2 years.

Other activites:
Atlanta Interactive Marketing Assocaition (AiMA) - Board Member since 2004 (currently VP)
Wake Forest University Atlanta Club - President since 2002
Gumbo Show with Joe on HoundDogRadio.net - Host since 2002
Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) - Member since 2000

My education:
I graduated from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC with a double major in Politics and Communications. I attended high school at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia.  My radio education came from hosting the Big Easy Cabaret Show with Joe for KMTN, Jackson Hole, WY.

My motto is:
"Dare mighty things!" from the quote:

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

- Theodore Roosevelt, United States President

Qualities I most admire in a person
- Integrity
- Pride
- Humor
- Loyalty

My most memorable moment:
Playing the trumpet and singing solo in restaurant full of people.

My favorite spot in the world:
The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (at the Fair Grounds Race Course), the last weekend in April and the first weekend in May.

If I were a cartoon character, I would be:
Wile E. Coyote.  Despite constant challenge and frustration of trying to catch the Road Runner, he is always creative, passionate and persistent. (By the way, he is confident he WILL eventually get the Road Runner

If I could take a year off, I would...
Drive across the country and see every Major League Baseball Park and every National Park.
