My strategies are data-driven and approached through the empirical method to whatever extent is possible. Most people I work with describe me as “creative” – but that creativity is centered around solving-problems and striving for effective communication. \nCurrently\, I work as the Marketing Director for Onebridge in Indy\, and provide mentoring to group of local entrepreneurs and small businesses.
