About Me

About Me:

I’m passionate about learning, digital photography, creativity, sports, music, Macs, technology, friends, family, and meeting wonderful people.

I believe in integrity, accepting who I am and others as they are (weaknesses and strengths alike), and constantly learning and growing. I believe everyone has the potential to do great things, and that we will all be happier if we do work we love. My family and friends take priority in my life. Physical and emotional fitness and health matter more to me than money (although I am not opposed to accumulating some of it).

I graduated from UC Davis in 2006 with a B.S. in Managerial Economics. In the past, I have worked in Client Services for a leading SEM firm, Efficient Frontier as a Search Marketing Specialist and an Account Manager. Most recently I worked as an Ad Effectiveness Analyst at MySpace.com providing analysis for display advertising campaigns.

My skills and random experience:

• I can drive a DSLR reasonably well (Nikon D40)
• I can string my own tennis racquets
• I used to build my own Windows PC’s and after that experience, I now use a Mac.
• I love DIY projects and I like to tinker – I’ve installed my own garage door opener
• I’ll spend hours washing, polishing, and waxing my car even though I know it will get dirty again just because I take pride in making my car shine – sometimes the process is equally as rewarding as the finished product.
• SEM – Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing, Microsoft AdCenter. I tried Ask.com’s search platform…once.
• I’ll keep adding to this list as I think of more random things I know how to do…
