Welcome to my personal posterous page.
A place for me to share my own random thoughts and things going on in my world of home, work and branding.
I'm your friendly neighborhood mid-westerner living in Orange County, California. I'm a former creative director turned brand strategist, and a husband to a woman that's completely out of my league.
Seriously, she's beautiful.

Hilarious Dark Knight Spoof
I absolutely loved the Dark Knight. But I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this today. I'm way late on finding this, but thought it was worth passing along in case you hadn't seen it.
Enjoy!

Power of Collecting Stories
Came across this video in an article I was reading online and was blown away. It's a TED presentation of artist and computer scientist Jonathan Harris as he discusses his process and love of collecting stories.
If you have 20 minutes, this is well worth the watch:

New Kaiser Permanente Spot
I dig this one ... Our agency has a good handle on creating fun emotionally engaging commercials. The music is perhaps the best part. In fact, we just rolled out a new tool that has tons of songs categorized by brand attributes and emotions to define what Kaiser Permanente's brand sounds like.

The Paradox of Hospitality
"The paradox of hospitality is that it wants to create emptiness, not a fearful emptiness, but a friendly emptiness where strangers can enter and discover themselves as created free; free to sing their own songs, speak their own languages, dance their own dances; free also to leave and follow their own vocations."

Felt Very Masculine Today
Brand strategist and mechanic—well mechanic today I guess.
I replaced the serpentine or drive belt on my 95 Jeep Wrangler today, felt good to figure it out and get a little dirt on my hands. Some of you may be laughing because that's not necessarily to challenging. But for me, it was a good exercise, I learned something and my Jeep is no longer screaming bloody murder.
I Just hope I can get the grease off before a presentation to business leaders tomorrow :)
