Finally going to write that Vampire series called "Dusk."
If I were in an elevator and you asked me what I do, I might say (and hopefully not get punched)...
I am a creative problem solver. I help people, companies, and organizations create and tell their stories through branding, strategy, and digital tools -- and I measure as much as I possibly can.
Prior to working in advertising I worked in international development, a field that irreversibly shaped my thinking. I'm in advertising because, for now, I believe I can do more good here than 'on the ground.' I'm convinced that the advertising industry can have a positive impact on society, and I'm interested in using it to love my neighbors - both near and far (I guess you could call that my M.O.).
Me at work: Associate Planning Director at Tribal DDB NY.

Teenage Brains - From National Geographic Magazine
Although you know your teenager takes some chances, it can be a shock to hear about them.
One fine May morning not long ago my oldest son, 17 at the time, phoned to tell me that he had just spent a couple hours at the state police barracks. Apparently he had been driving "a little fast." What, I asked, was "a little fast"? Turns out this product of my genes and loving care, the boy-man I had swaddled, coddled, cooed at, and then pushed and pulled to the brink of manhood, had been flying down the highway at 113 miles an hour.
"That's more than a little fast," I said.
He agreed. In fact, he sounded somber and contrite. He did not object when I told him he'd have to pay the fines and probably for a lawyer. He did not argue when I pointed out that if anything happens at that speed—a dog in the road, a blown tire, a sneeze—he dies. He was in fact almost irritatingly reasonable. He even proffered that the cop did the right thing in stopping him, for, as he put it, "We can't all go around doing 113."
He did, however, object to one thing. He didn't like it that one of the several citations he received was for reckless driving.
"Well," I huffed, sensing an opportunity to finally yell at him, "what would you call it?"
"It's just not accurate," he said calmly. " 'Reckless' sounds like you're not paying attention. But I was. I made a deliberate point of doing this on an empty stretch of dry interstate, in broad daylight, with good sight lines and no traffic. I mean, I wasn't just gunning the thing. I was driving.
"I guess that's what I want you to know. If it makes you feel any better, I was really focused."
Actually, it did make me feel better. That bothered me, for I didn't understand why. Now I do.
I used to drive 100+ mph quite frequently as a teen. Now days, I consider that to be not so smart (I also don't own a car anymore). Frankly, my changed outlook worries me. Is "getting old" an inevitable part of getting older?
The research cited in this article is a fascinating explanation of what happens in teens brains as they evolve, and how "getting older" doesn't have to mean "getting old." I don't necessarily agree with all of his premises or conclusions, but it's a very interesting article.
