If You've Landed on My Blog...

You're probably someone Google-ing me to find out more about my business background. It's ok - I do the same thing. Anytime I talk to someone new for business, that's the first thing I do. Since I don't update this blog, or any of the old sites, I figured that I would do one big post and get the core info out there.

So, here's some info about me in a nutshell:

- I'm the VP of Online Marketing at ProFlowers and manage a mid-sized team. I don't post the exact numbers because competitors always want to know. Prior to joining ProFlowers, I worked at Yahoo!, Gateway and WebSideStory. I've been at ProFlowers for over 4 years.

- I like to snowboard and wakeboard. Here's a wakeboarding shot:

- I did my first mini-triathlon last year. Here's a couple of pictures:

- In April 07, I married Scott Vernier in San Diego. Our wedding was small but spectacular. Here's a mini video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE1O1EXEvxs

- My favorite trip took place last summer. We went to Rome, Florence, Venice, Sorrento and other cities. At one point in my life, I really wanted to be a photographer. I think I have a pretty good eye, but I don't have the technical skills I really need... but I took a ton of photos and here are some of the best:

- I don't do any consulting work because I don't have the time, and I'm not looking for a new job. ProFlowers is awesome and I'm having more fun than ever.

- I've been asked to speak at different events, but usually don't participate because it's what my company prefers. While at Gateway, I was interviewed for a Washington Post article and also made it into the book The Google Story. Here's a link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4969899/

- I've also been named as one of the top in house SEOs. I don't do much hands on work anymore, but help drive the strategy. Here's a link to the article: http://www.naturalsearchblog.com/archives/2007/02/27/some-top-in-house-seos/

- Aside from strong English skills, I'm also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. I am conversational in Italian and used to be fluent in French, but I haven't used that language in about 10 years.
