What makes me unique?

I'm no spring chicken.
I've been around the block. My extensive experience in digital media includes senior directorial positions with Dangerous Kitchen (current), The Bernard Hodes Group, three Atlanta, Moxie Interactive, Media Firma, DM3 Marketing and Mindflex Interactive.

I'm multifaceted.
Successful roles have included CEO, Interactive Director, Technical Director, Creative Director, User Experience Designer, Information Architect, Lead Producer, Lead Programmer, Brand Strategist, Database Designer, Account Executive, Project Manger and Copywriter. I've even been Voice Over Talent.

I'm process-driven.
I strive to balance discovery and intuition with research and analysis. I adhere to a set of methodologies that foster ideation and ensure that teams—and projects —are successful. I document heavily. And I don't short-circuit goals by cutting corners.

I've got credentials.
I've been a pivotal contributor to digital media projects for numerous clients including Microsoft, Nortel Networks, GE Power Systems, UPS, CNN, BellSouth, IBM, Mercedes-Benz, Weather.com, McKesson, Safeco Insurance, the IRS, the Georgia Lottery, Atlanta Magazine and the Fair Housing Institute.

I'm young at heart.
Some of my best friends are pushing past 50, but I haven't lost touch with my inner child—and a creative spirit that lets me hang with the kids. I social network. I hold my own at Halo and Guitar Hero III (at least the songs I know). I've spent too much time on World of Warcraft. I update my FB status regularly and send out an occaisional tweet.

In other words, I get the online world.
