MORE About me

IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER, MY LIFE HAS BEEN INTERTWINNED WITH THE CREATIVE. AFTER A STINT IN KANSAS CITY, I DECIDED TO MOVE BACK TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN, TO FURTHER DEVELOP TRUE NORTH INTERACTIVE AS WELL AS PURSUE MY LIFE-LONG PASSION IN SAILING.

​

FROM THE BEGINNING

IN THE LATE 80'S I ATTEDTED WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY  WAR COLLEGE, WHICH LED ME TO MY TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY FROM 1991/94.  I DEEPLY LOVE THIS COUNTRY, AND ALTHOUGH A CAREER IN THE MILITARY WAS NEVER MY CALLING, I FELT DUTY BOUND TO SERVE.

​

​IN PREVIOUS CAREERS, I WAS DEEP INTO TECHNOLOGY.  WORKING WITH COMPANIES SUCH AS XEROX IN THEIR "KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT" DIVISION, WHICH WERE THE EARLY PIONEERS OF TODAYS 'CRM'S (CONTACT MANAGEMENT SOLFTWARE) PRESENTLY UTILIZED BY COMPANIES SUCH AS SALESFORCE, MICROSOFT SAP & ORACLE. 

​

THE LATE 90'S LEAD ME TO ADVERTISING... AFTER WORKING FOR AN AD AGENCY IN KANSAS CITY, I, ALONG WITH A FEW FRIENDS DECIDED TO FORM OUR OWN AGENCY, AND "EMG" WAS BORN. WE QUICKLY MADE A NAME FOR OURSELVES AFTER LANDING THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, AND THE KC ROYALS IN THE FIRST YEAR. WE ALSO WERE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH MICHAEL OHER ON HIS BOOK "I BEAT THE ODDS', AND HIS MOVIE "THE BLIND SIDE". AFTER 4 SUCCESSFUL YEARS, WE SOLD TO A LARGER FIRM. THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, I HAVE HAD THE FURTUNE OF MANAGING CREATIVE TEAMS, LEADING MARKETING DEPARTMENTS AND DIRECTING COMMUNICATIONS FOR SEVERAL FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES.

MISSIONS

​PROVERBS 16:3

"Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed"

​

WHILE DIRECTING THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT FOR A RADIOLOGY COMPANY, I WAS INTRODUCED TO"CROSSWORLD" A GLOBAL MISSION MOBILIZER....AS A LIFE-LONG CHRISTIAN, OVERSEAS MISSIONS WERE ALWAYS ON MY HEART, BUT I NEVER FEFT LIKE I HAD ENOUGH TIME. I PRAYED ABOUT IT, AND GOD GAVE ME THE TIME. I SPENT THE NEXT THREE YEARS TRAVELING TO NORTHWEST HAITI, TO A SMALL RURAL COMMINITY IN PORT-DE-PAIX....THE BEST 3 YEARS OF MY LIFE.

​

COLOSSSIANS 3:23–24

​"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ".

​

LONG STORY SHORT, I MOVED BACK HOME, MET MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, AND DECIDED TO BRING MY MARKETING AND DESIGN EXPERIENCES TO NOTHERN MICHIGAN. 

​

AS THE FOUNDER OF "TRUE NOTH INTERACTIVE" I BELIEVED THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD MARKETING, A NEXT LEVEL WEBSITE AND A PRICE THAT SMALL BUSINESSES CAN AFFORD....  SO I SET OUT TO DO, JUST THAT!
