About Me:

I work in Affiliate Sales for HBO where I am responsible for designing and executing sales and marketing plans for our cable partners to grow our subscriber base. I'm extremely motivated to succeed, and throroughly enjoy going to work everyday.

Even though I don't consider myself overly creative in the sense that I can look at a blank canvas and create a masterpiece from nothing; I believe I'm creative in that I'm able look at something and discern what it is trying to be and help its message be found. That's why I enjoy working for HBO. We produce some phenomenal programming and I like to be a part of it in the way that I am.

I'm originally from upstate New York, and moved to Chicago over 7 years ago and have loved it since the day I arrived. I think the city has a lot to offer, but it gets overlooked by our cold winters, our innercity plight, and our political shortcomings.

In the future, I would love to get more involved with advertising/marketing from an agency perspective because I enjoy helping companies craft their strategic direction and putting their vision to work.

What I hope to gain from The Chicago Convergence

I want to be part of a group of people with a common goal to generate and share new ideas, work in innovative projects, and show the world what kind of city Chicago really can be.
