I love asking questions and finding answers—digging through numbers, listening for common themes and connecting the dots to discover the essence of a campus.  My work is part detective, part mathematician and part magician.  To me, research is the first chapter of a new story, setting the stage for the creative magic that makes a Creosote campaign so effective. 

I Believe...
...that a day at the beach is the closest thing to heaven
...the best way to get the real story is to ask questions...lots of questions
...that the book is almost always better than the movie
...numbers can tell a story
...that laughter, loud music and friends can make any day a great day
