One time, I grew up.
I was born and raised in north-central Connecticut; between the Cub Scouts and little league, I was your average small-town kid. I got my first job at the age of 13 doing some part-time landscaping, and a year later, I joined my town's
volunteer fire department, following in the footsteps of my grandfather, father, and uncle. This was a great way for me to help out my community and have fun while doing it. Around the same time I joined a race team that competed on the
NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour which competed about 15 times a season from April to October. These two activities taught me the value of teamwork, responsibility, and accountability. During my senior year of high school, I was selected to be a student representative on my town's
Board of Education while also participating as a member of the
National Honors Society (nerd alert).
They let me into college.
In 1999, I moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University. I graduated in May of 2004 with a BS in Business Administration; Concentration in Marketing, a Minor in Visual Arts, and nearly three years of real-world, paid work experience through Northeastern's
Cooperative Education (Co-op) program. Right after graduation, I went into business for myself offering services in freelance design and marketing consulting, I grew my client base to include a variety of small and medium businesses, both local and national. Design was always something that I was good at, so by starting my own company I really got to enjoy what I was doing, while practicing the marketing, entrepreneurship, and design concepts I learned in college.
I got sick of the snow (offered a great job).
In early 2005, one of my clients started flying me down to their offices in Ft. Lauderdale to work on-site. I spent some time creating a web presence for them, and after about six months, one of the owners of the company created a full-time position for me. I said "goodbye" to Boston and moved down to South Florida to serve as the company's Marketing Director—I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity. Since my position was newly-created, I was tasked with building a marketing and design department from scratch, and in doing so, cut outsourcing costs by over 75%. I left the company in September of 2009 after four very successful years; I had helped it double in size since my hiring and it made me realize that I had made the right choice by pursuing a career in marketing.
I missed the snow (and family).
Since I've been back in New England, I've been working for a nationally-recognized construction management firm performing various marketing, communications, and design duties. Experts in several functional areas, this employee-owned, $680 million company continues to win jobs across the country in eleven business lines. In order to further my career, I am currently attending
Suffolk University's Sawyer Business school to earn my MBA in Marketing.
Et cetera
Life's been interesting so far. I've fought fires (both literal and figurative), I've held the Stanley Cup, I've built race cars, I've been in a band, I've piloted an airplane, I've built brands, and I once brewed a bock beer so tasty I named it "Rock Your Socks Bock". These days I enjoy following the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots; though they'll never be able to hear me, I sometimes find myself yelling at them through the television. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, learning about new technologies,
being a beer lover, designing for the web, and watching movies (I have a penchant for useless pop-culture knowledge).
