My move from Michigan to Colorado in 2001 marked a life-changing experience for me. One of the bet decisions I ever made. I have enjoyed the people, outdoors, music scene, artistic culture, business environment and the creative mecca that is this area ever since.

I joined Rage Unlimited in the spring of 2006 while still earning my degree from CU Boulder. Throughout my time there, I have grown a lot, learned a lot about numerous aspects of life and business, and been influenced by some really great individuals.

I moved from intern to account manager to director of marketing, and now here I am. You have to be a jack of all trades at Rage or else you will not survive. It is a fast-paced environment where you are required to multi-task sales, negotiations, problem solving, production management, creativity, customer service, etc at all times.

I am at a point where I am ready to see what else this world holds for me. I would like to move in more of a conceptual direction with my career. I would really enjoy extending my skills and knowledge into brand management or creative / integrated marketing. A position of the likes is how I see myself as being the most beneficial asset to an organization.

Rage - Additional Brands

Here are a few more of the brands that I work with. Every one of them is different in their own way, and I have to be very understanding and sensitive to that when I am making suggestions and working on projects.

Rage - Sobe

Sobe Summer Fridays is a marketing tour that Epiphany Media hosted for Sobe this summer. These are some of the projects that I conceptualized and produced for the events.

Rage - MTV

These are more examples of projects I have completed with MTV properties. Its nice when they use us for great ideas as opposed to their in-house department. That must say something about our service and creativity.

RAGE Unlimited - MTV

Rage - MTV Video Music Awards 09

Rage has been involved with the Music Awards for years. This year I had a couple of projects to work on.

Rage - MTV / Sunkist Party Summer 08

I pulled this project together very last-minute for MTV and Sunkist. In the end, we flew to LA to enjoy the festivities.

Rage - Diageo

I do quite a bit of work for Diageo through Epiphany Media out of NYC. Whether its interactive DVDs or bottle shaped candles, they always have some great projects to work on.

Rage - Breckenridege

Working with Breck has been a great experience for the last couple of years. The people are great and very easy to work with. They always give us quite a bit of creative freedom.

Rage - Keystone

I had the pleasure of working with Keystone for 2 years. This season, we at Rage have divided the Vail resorts between 3 of us. Instead of Keystone I now manage Heavenly, which I have been enjoying.

Rage - Intrawest Resorts- Winter Park / Copper Mountain / Crested Butte

I have managed quite a bit of projects for these Intrawest Resorts. It is a pleasure to work with so many different elite mountain brands around Colorado. And the perks never hurt.

Rage - Product Design-

Hapa Sushi out of Boulder / Denver came to us to produce new cut-and-sew server shirts and ladies sushi chef shirts. Here are the two that we worked very diligently towards. We also produce the rest of Hapa’s merchandise, but these shirts have been a real treat to have some creative freedom with.

Rage - Product Development-

I worked with a client to developt a new product from inception to production. I facilitated the production overseas through our extensive factory network. Important aspects of the devlopment included: budget sensitivity, industry knowledge, material knowledge, timliness, effectiveness of communication with production manager overseas and knowledge of the target demographic(s). This was a great project to manage.
