With experience in business development, sales, and digital marketing, I'm currently leading and growing (learn more here - bit.ly/jointhesalesteam) the sales and marketing team at YourCause. Our sales team is focused on partnering with Corporate Social Responsibility professionals to provide them with a technology platform to help their employees make an impact through volunteering, giving, and sustainability programs. Our marketing initiatives are a mix of marketing automation and marketing communications - content generation+strategy (infographics, case studies, white papers), SEO, video marketing, interactive content production (multi-layer parallax scrolling websites), and social media. What gets me most excited is the intersection of marketing, technology, and sales, where I help answer the question of "How do we generate revenue from this?"

I've held roles in business development, marketing, and sales management in various spaces - Software-as-a-Service ('SaaS') and Software-Plus-Service ('SPS') platforms, social entrepreneurship initiatives, Corporate Social Responsibility, mobile, managed IT services (ERP, Cloud, Managed//Professional Services, Infrastructure and Programming), human capital, nonprofit, and social technologies.

What it comes down to is that I enjoy and excel at building, managing, and leading strong teams of passionate individuals to do really cool things. All with the hope to do a little good. I enoy staying involved in the Dallas digital, nonprofit, and educational spaces through my work with Digital Dallas, AdvancedNet Labs, Social Venture Partners Dallas, and the UNT Professional Leadership Program.
