About Me
I am a son, a boyfriend, a friend, a reader, a writer, a runner, a snowboarder, a juggler, a magician, a drummer, an employee, a volunteer. I am a leader, a worker, and a public speaker.
I am currently working with Business Wire where I have spent the past 3 years interfacing with public relations and investor relations professionals throughout Virginia. I spend my time helping clients morph their traditional press releases into shareable, interactive documents.
I am hoping to gather the details of my daily life and impress upon this blog unique aspects of my experiences. I plan to share feelings and ideas on communication and leadership and ultimately, to capture our reality and learn from it.
