About Me

Professionally I am currently a Senior MVP Lead for Microsoft Office managing the MVP program and engaging with a great group of certified professionals.  Prior to this role I was providing community engagement, social networking and digital marketing consulting to a variety of small to medium sized businesses.  My background includes providing guidance and execution around community portal solutions, social networking strategy and paid/organic search marketing.  Prior to that I spent 4 years at Microsoft most recently as a Community Manager for Microsoft Advertising where I managed advertiser/influencer events, emerging media production & distribution and the Microsoft adExcellence accreditation program.

Father of two boys, husband to one wife.  I live in the Pacifc NW, a bit north of Seattle after living most of my life as a Chicagoan.   In my spare time, I enjoy amateur filmmaking, playing baseball, gadgets and social networking all while trying to become an aspiring author as I work through writing my first book.

I especially love watching my boys grow up, experiencing everything the Pacific NW gives, and a variety of other semi-exciting things.  My blog is the place I go to share my life experiences (social and professional), and also attempt to write humorously about the things I find amusing.
