I'm a visual and analytical thinker who loves people, data, technology, and strategy - and mixes them together to make money.I love a tough challenge - one that can only be done with a solid team. I'm motivated by making a difference - moving the needle - and measuring it. I'm obsessed with learning through innovation and testing. I'm frequently called "Dr. No" - because I've learned when to say, "No" which is one of the most valuable and powerful words in the world - allowing us to move forward with wild abandon toward the things that are a bold "Yes".My career has been three distinct phases - 13 years of corporate technology, 12 years of consulting and data management leadership within marketing (with key customers like AT&T and Walmart), and the last 7+ years applying technology, marketing, and analytics skills in the live music industry segment - connecting music fans to their favorite musicians.My interests outside of work are music, writing, reading at coffee houses, counseling, suicide prevention, Jesus, and learning what makes people tick.
