Tell us about your current position? I have worked for Marketing by Design for almost 9 years. I started as a designer and that role has grown to include project management and business development as well. Working for a small business has allowed me a great breath of experience designing and managing cookbooks, annual reports, advertising, packaging, educational guides, banners, websites and much more.What is your educational background? I have a degree in Graphic Design and a Minor in Marketing from California State University, Chico.
What is the best part of your job? The big thinking: the strategy, messaging and ideation stage is very rewarding for me. That and photo shoots; escaping my desk to work with people and/or food is a lot of fun.
What do you love about living here? I grew up in South Natomas and thought Sacramento was pretty lame in high school. But you think everything is lame in high school. I came back after college and love it. Midtown and all of the restaurants are great. It’s a very live-able city with lots of passionate people and amenities.What is one thing that might surprise people about you? Many people know I love cooking, but most are surprised when they find out I hunt duck and pheasant as well. I took it up a few years ago to spend more time with my dad and get more connected to the food I eat.When you aren't in the office where can we find you? At the farmers’ market with my wife and 3 year old son; grilling with friends; mountain Biking in Tahoe; in the middle of a river fly fishing; sitting on the couch watching John Stewart or Top Chef.
