I have always found the "people aspects" of my personal and professional experiences to be the most valuable and rewarding. Whether I am coaching basketball, singing along while my Dad plays guitar, or talking with consumers, it is the thrill of really connecting with the people in my life that brings the most meaning. Seek gives me the opportunity to embrace this passion for people and bring their voices to life for our clients. Having worked on a wide variety of brand categories, from personal care to alcohol, I live for my next opportunity to enter a respondent’s world and experience their unique perspective.

Here's the random stuff...

  1. Blue or black pens?  Why?   As long as it's not felt-tip or gel, I'll happily take either color.
  2. Ideal vacation (no budget limit, 2 weeks maximum)?  It would have to be some place I have not traveled to before and preferably out of the country…I have heard the cruises around Alaska are phenomenal. Sign me up!
  3. Best Halloween costume you’ve ever worn? Last year, two friends and I were Huey, Duey and Louie. We wore orange tights, white shorts, coordinated hats and t-shirts and even made cardboard webbed feet…good stuff.
  4. Something nobody at Seek knew about you before you answered this question? I am strangely superstitious about things that most people moved on from when they finished grade school. I still try and lift my feet up in a car when crossing railroad tracks, and kiss the ceiling of my car when gliding through a yellow light! I should probably see someone about this, right?   
  5. Do you sleep with one or two pillows?  Why?Just one and I prefer it to be well broken-in. I suppose that’s strange but somehow it feels more comfortable on my neck.
  6. If you had to live on nothing but fast food for two weeks, what would be your meal of choice? McDonalds. Chicken nugget meal. Diet Coke. Sweet and sour sauce. Next question!
  7. Mac or PC?  Why? Before Seek I didn’t know much about Macs, but from what I can see they look fabulous!
  8. It’s a warm summer night and you’re sitting on the front porch...what drink is in your hand? Anything cold. A diet coke, white wine, light beer…or perhaps a healthy combination of all three?!   
  9. Worst job you’ve ever had: Berry picking. The only good part was launching the rotten berries at coworkers. (And yes, I grew up in the middle of nowhere so this was what we did at age 14!)
  10. Favorite automobile you’ve ever owned? I love my Honda Civic…and it just so happens to be the one and only car I’ve ever owned!
