 What I believe:

— You can’t get to the next level without taking your foot off comfortable ground.

-— People share stories, jokes, and experiences. Not sales pitches.

-— The best idea can be articulated in a single, pointed sentence. Executions merely add color to it.

-— Word-of-mouth is the best advertising out there. But the brand needs to start the conversation.

-— Digital can be a wonderful way to share a brand. Or another way to further intrude with it.

-— Nobody complains about vanilla. Then again, nobody raves about vanilla either. 

-— I will someday summit Mt. Hood.

An interesting fact about me:
