Hi, I'm Rob, and this is my slice of the digital pie. I'm a New Yorker (living just outside Washington, D.C.) with a passion for technology and great design.

I have been consulting for nearly a decade in multiple industries for a variety of clients. I own and manage several eCommerce and retail brands and invest in real estate projects.

I am the former director of a digital media agency that helped small businesses and startups grow their revenue through digital advertising & marketing, web design & development, and branding & design. I'm a trained Node & React/Redux and React Native developer. I am also Google AdWords-certified and hold the certification for Facebook Core Advertising.

In a previous life, I helped co-found Itemize.com, as the first employee and Digital Product Management Analyst. I handled product development, strategy and communications. Prior to joining Itemize full time, I served as a consulting advisor.

My previous full time work had me at multiple public relations agencies, where I assisted a variety of health care clients and some of the world's largest companies adopt social media tools into their communications to engage with their customers and colleagues. My work included developing award-nominated social media initiatives for companies like Pfizer and Nestle.

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in American Culture and a minor in U.S. History.

My focus for this blog has evolved, as I have evolved, both professionally and personally. From this point on, you'll find a mix of posts on technology, sports & fitness, and design & culture.

If you want to connect to me through one of my social networking profiles, drop me a line and mention that you saw my blog so I know where you're coming from.
