If you don’t evolve, you die. The vultures and buzzards and all the other carrion birds will come to pick off the remains. It’s a simple rule, really, easy to learn, easy to live by. Evolve. Change. Transform. Do or die. Do, or be eaten, swallowed whole, by the adaptable ones.

Verdino & Co.
Verdino & Co. is a content strategy agency based in New York. I call the founders Greg and Amanda a dynamic duo. They’re husband and wife and a great agency to work with. I help with their clients’ content needs, mostly B2C work related to the Internet of Things (IoT).
Tenacity5 Media
Tenacity5 Media employed me for two years, although I worked with founder Geoff Livingston for three. We made brands remarkable through strategy, content writing and editing, and visual content. Our clients covered the spectrum, from B2B to B2C, and from B2C to nonprofit. It was a great ride, and I will always be grateful for the time spent there.
Cision
Cision is a global PR firm providing PR software, marketing, and media relations software and services. I work with them to provide content for customers: white papers, tip sheets, blog posts, et cetera. It’s great fun. I’m always learning some new tidbit and coming up with fun ways to talk about subjects like copyright compliance and influencer marketing.
Give Local America
Give Local America is a giving movement (and day) initiated by Kimbia, an online giving platform. I worked with the organization as a brand journalist and interviewed nonprofits that participated in the annual giving day. I also sidelined as a brand strategist, offering feedback on plans developed by Geoff Livingston. It was fun work. I enjoyed “traveling” around the U.S. and hearing about the remarkable work that nonprofits were doing in their community to make a difference.
The Austin Stone
The Austin Stone is the church I attend and one of the places where I serve. I’ve been a part of Story Team in the past and learned a lot about working with editors and being a part of a much, much bigger story. Today, I serve on the production team because of an interest in audio.
