As a serial entrepreneur, I understand the exciting highs and tough lows of starting companies, creating ideas, moving them into action, and then trying to convince the world that these ideas can help their business be more successful. I feel that it is my responsibility to help showcase other entrepreneurs and promote opportunities and awareness across Minnesota.

With over 20 years experience in marketing, sales operations, business development, and significant involvement with startups such as Digital Concourse, Next Wave Connect, and currently, WorkOutLoud, I have a proven commitment to startup life. I have a passion for leveraging social media to foster collaboration and success, while seeding and nurturing long-term business relationships. My successful business relationships have reaped big benefits for enterprises including IBM, Microsoft, Ciber, Velocity, Lawson/Infor, Cerner, Next Wave Connect, and now with WorkOutLoud.

As a highly motivated, passionate graphic designer, I have the invaluable ability to interpret customer needs into the ideal representation of themselves, their business, or their current project. Using my expertise in social media, I am able to assist clients to establish/expand their online presence and develop marketing campaigns that will stand out amongst the crowd. I founded Pezigns, LLC in 2011 and have recently worked with up-and-coming businesses in developing their brand – including logo design, web design, print design, marketing materials, and on-going support. Pezigns has also given me the opportunity to work with established businesses on re-branding and updating their current web services, resulting in streamlined processes and visibility to a larger customer base.

I am just someone who tries to live and love everyday... Make it count - You only get one shot!

Peace.

Forever young, energetic, kinda geeky, driven, ambitious, friend, son, brother, dad, uncle, husband. Just me always trying to have fun.
