Previous
Lots of many hats worn
Military | WMD Advisor
A WMD Advisor, Reconnaissance and Surveillance of WMDs, Counterproliferation, and Staff Officer in many capacities for a variety of organizations. Led technical teams and organizations during a pivotal transition of peacetime to an agile and tech-forward organization.
Website Work
Account management, sales, and freelance/contract work as a web developer/designer at a small, regional boutique agency, a national company, and for myself. Performed everything from lead generation, hosting management, front end, SEO, and content.
Sales
Door-to-door and used car sales. Both are difficult due to their perceptions. Both led to greater opportunities, but most importantly led to greater understandings of myself and invaluable lessons everyone could use to learn.
Prior
Vail snowboard bum working on the mountain, moonlit rides back down. Painting log cabins in the mountains, sitting on roofs with a scenic backdrop. Crypto consulting during early adoption of bitcoin, educating people and businesses on the technology. Volunteer work building an earth home, whole body covered in dirt and mud all day. These are experiences that led me to where I am. I love them and cherish them, and they are from several lifetimes ago.
College
Received a Bachelors in Marketing from a state school, working in the outdoor recreation department all four years. Led outdoor trips- rock climbing, snowboarding, hiking. Directed incoming freshman camps and transfer student camps, with thousands of students over the years, and 50 counselors reporting to me.
