About: Who I Am

This is the section that prompted me to write this whole page. When I started my job at NeoGenomics I got a homework assignment. I was supposed to write a short bio for the company newsletter. After starting, I discovered how hard it was for me to write about myself. I even tried doing it in the third person to remove myself from the picture. After a small amount of effort I gave up and asked Gabi my wife to write it for me. She did and excellent job of it, and inspired me to write my own about me.

Her good work made me realize it had been a while since I took a good look at myself in the mirror. I should not be afraid to talk about myself, and so this site is an attempt to remedy that problem.

Skills: What I do and How I Do It

Through my work and education I've learned several valuable skills. Below is a short list of some of the once that have served me well recently.

Salesforce.com

I've been using Salesforce.com since 2008, started using it extensivly in 2009, and now do a lot of extensive customization, developing custom objects and deploying it for a large enterprise.

Search Engine Marketing

I optimize the websites I work on so search engines and rank them high and so visitors find what they're looking for.

I run successful pay per click ad campaigns that bring new qualified visitors and convert those visitors into leads.

I launch email campaigns that educate prospects and generate sales.

Career

I'm proud to have worked at some really great companies with some really great people. I've done some very interesting jobs but have now settled in to being a digital marketer. I love companies with non-traditional capitalization.

Education

I spent my childhood in a number of different schools, and kept that trend up through college. I am done with my formal education, but will always want to keep learning. If I do go back to school again, my plan will be to get accepted into an Ive League, like Harvard or Stanford, and then drop out after a semester. It seems like many of the most successful businessmen are college dropouts, and I plan to learn from their example.
