PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

My professional career has led me to manage large scale music festivals, negotiate with corporate and federal IT Directors, and facilitate digital marketing strategies for a Dutch based company into the Chinese market from my home in the United States.

I am an avid reader and writer as well as a student of the Stoic philosophy. These ideals have helped me to understand, manage, and navigate the more turbulent passages in life.

In the words of Marcus Aurelius, "A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions". To me this means not only setting high goals, but attacking them with intensity, putting fear aside, and always looking for ways to seek solution.
