About

I love making a difference, marketing, technology, and sports; as well as my wife, Jessica, and two sons, Patriot and Azlan.

Business Experience:
I am an entrepreneur.  I started or helped start companies for many years.  I failed more times than I have succeeded but I think that is the story of most entrepreneurs.  I give creativity out for free to much and enjoy business conversations over breakfast or lunch more than over the phone or email.  My latest company is ROAR.  We do iPhone and Android apps for non-profits and those that serve non-profits.

Church Experience:
I worked at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, TX for five years, helping create and produce “G-Force,” a curriculum for elementary age children. I also contributed to the dream phase of Elevate, an elementary curriculum currently in production. I also served as the Pastor of Students and Children at Horizon Community Church in Cincinnati, OH.

Social Media Experience:
I consult with many professionals in the Cincinnati area and now the Atlanta area in creating and maintaining a social media strategy (ie. Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, ect..). I currently help the reThink Group with their strategy.  Strategy is more important than just doing. My best advice for those trying to leverage social media for either business or personal use is to be human. You can interact with me on twitter, facebook, linked in, posterous, or this blog.

Technology:
I use a 15″ MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 for now. Both of these will change soon because technology changes but it will be a Mac.

Sports:
NCAA: University of Kentucky Basketball, I bleed blue.
NFL: Cowboys (I live in Dallas for 5 years), and the Bengals (since a kid but it’s been rough)
Nascar: I don’t care really.
MLB: I will go but I won’t watch on TV.
Soccer: I played at Cumberland College in KY, but I don’t follow it anymore.
