First and foremost, I am an imaginative and creative individual who likes reaching out to the world and showing it what I have to offer. Sounds like the typical artist, right? Not completely as I am quite interested in a particular brand of business.
I am quite into social media and am intrigued with the idea of using social media for marketing purposes. I completed an internship with Social Media Delivered in Dallas, Texas and am always learning from the industry thought leaders, such as Brian Solis, Jeremy Owyang, Shama Kabani, Chris Brogan and Eve Mayer Orsburn just to name a few. I also am learning from my own curriculum with such books as Social Media ROI (by Oliver Blanchard), Likeable Social Media (by Dave Kerpen), The Zen of Social Media Marketing (by Shama Kabani) and The Social Media Business Equation (by Eve Mayer Orsburn).
I also like to write, helps with the social media marketing, and have been writing poetry since I was a child. In addition to writing, I'm also an actor. Beginning from childhood, I've been very imaginative and I find it wonderfully cathartic placing myself in an imaginary set of circumstances and creating a scene in a film or theater production. It's an artform I thoroughly enjoy.
The Businessman and The Artist in one person; I do like the idea of chaos within order. It's a wonderful, and useful, contradiction in my opinion.
