In addition to overseeing digital and social media programs, content, and experiences for brands, he helps them leverage social media and digital technologies across their businesses. When not trying to prove that someone over forty can still be hip to how things work on the world wide web, he can be found obsessing over the latest fitness or nutrition trend and bringing “snacks” to meetings that range from meatloaf to seaweed.
