I work with PRIME to offer a comprehensive and integrative 360° research system, which allows our clients and their organization to react immediately to upcoming topics and issues, manage their day-to-day communication activities align their communication targets and generate and demonstrate value and return-on-investment.

As President & Founder of Bizica, LLC I am responsible for leading business development strategy, product development, and company objectives.

I work with clients from around Michigan and the world to help them achieve their business goals online. A lot of my clients have extremely niche products, so helping them connect to their target prospect can be a big challenge. It's very rewarding to know that I have a measurable affect on these businesses, helping them bring in new clients for I work to improve their search rankings, to set up and manage paid search advertising, and to start new social media campaigns. Pure Visibility is a relatively new, growing company with great people and great culture. I've worked on both the east and west coasts, but I love the vibe in Ann Arbor and expect to stick around.

I work with an extremely talented team who are really good at helping companies to uncover who they are deep down. We build an image and message that is crafted for the business, the market and most importantly the consumer they are trying to reach. I pride myself on doing things that are at the forefront creatively and technologically (but only when it makes sense). My work is mainly done in building web presences (websites + social media strategy) but more and more of my work has been building experiential/guerilla marketing campaigns.

I'm living my dream!  I help high tech companies with PR and media relations -- everything from key messaging to developing stories to pitching media and then prepping clients for great interviews.  I also get to work a lot with social and new media for these clients, and that keeps me on my toes; learning how to best leverage emerging communications opportunities is exciting, especially when it leads directly to increased visibility and brand recognition for my clients.

At Joust Strength + Fitness, I'm fortunate to work with a co-owner, Melissa Gerharter, and a team of people who are passionate about helping people get fit.  Not only do I co-run the business, I also instruct CrossFit, boot camp, kettlebell and group cycling classes for people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and ages.  It's amazing to watch someone achieve what they didn't think was possible or reach a new milestone in their quest for personal fitness.

As the President and CEO of Thomson Shore, I am in charge of employee satisfaction, overall P&L health and strategic business development for business sustainability.

I write web software for ICM client projects that call for it, and I work on extending the functionality and doing general maintenance on our in-house Content Management System.

At MyBuys, I contact and educate e-commerce companies about the emerging market of Personalized Product Recommendations(PPR). I initiate the partnership and/or sales processes by creating client interest, answering questions, qualifying sales and partnership opportunities and securing time for meetings either in person or via conference call. Typically, I communicate with individuals at multiple levels at a prospective company and then work closely with the account executives to further the sales process until the prospect becomes client or partner. In order to improve my communications skills I also research and develop strategic accounts along with a designated senior executive. I then confirm meetings and ensure prospects' timely attendance and follow up according after meeting is conducted.

I convince e-commerce businesses across the United States that MyBuys offers the greatest financial benefit with little risk in the market today.

I help develop client web marketing strategies and identify the best combination of online marketing tools and venues to deliver trackable results.  Areas of responsibility are Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay-Per-Click Management, Directory Management, Blog Management, and reporting on web analytics, rankings, etc.

I’m part of a team that includes PR and events, which markets our company and its products and services. Everyday, I have opportunities to collaborate on a variety of projects from creating collateral or writing a proposal with our sales staff to working with our satisfaction research analysts and clients on case studies.
