So You Are Wondering Who I Am?

I'm sort of a mixed bag of skills and fantasies. My passions themselves are invested across a wide variety of activities and subjects that captivate my cranium and invigorate my soul. I'm trained as a historian with a degree in history from Carthage College in Kenosha that was culminated with a senior thesis on the social class differences between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. This of course means, as you can probably guess, that I am also a Beatles nut. Because of my musical and technological obsessions, I've combined my degree in history and social media certification and training in order to create and run a website completely devoted to the Beatles at BeatleHistory.com.

Social Media You Say?

I spent most of my second half of my time in college writing SEO filled articles for money. My time spent writing on a historical level combined with my obsession with technology and the internet made doing copywriting a no-brainer, which is ultimately why I started doing it and stopped working minimum wage broke college kid jobs. I've always written things growing up, mainly short stories and poems, but never thought of writing pieces fine tuned for companies to get higher page ranks on search engines. After doing writing for several years in conjunction with maintaining the social media accounts and community for Dogs of War Gaming an online gaming community, I decided to start expanding my toolbox and techniques to provide social media services for individuals and companies for a living. I've undergone HootSuite's certification and am currently nearing completion of Rutger University's online certification program. 

And in the End

My ultimate goal with this blog is to share what I've learned and to blog about other things I genuinely enjoy. I really am motivated by being social online and the technology that allows me and others to continue being as such. Being social itself means more than just talking or typing to people, but also sharing content, sharing techniques and information, and learning myself. The internet has provided us as people with a huge toolbox and a treasure trove of opportunities to learn beyond schooling and traditional methods. My blog should be a great place to pick my brain, learn about me, and also teach me what you know. This blog won't just be another gluttony of monotonous pictures of food or mundane daily tasks, but a wealth of personal information, thoughts, and ideas. If I do talk about my latest hoagie, it will be with a genuine acknowledgement of why it's good or bad, the impact it's had on my life, and what wonderful company you can obtain one from or send death threats letters of dissatisfaction. As a genuine rule of thumb, I will try not to write about my hoagies unless it somehow has some vital significance to the both of us (and I'm sure it has).

I look forward to the journey ahead. Beak out your glasses, crack open a bottle of gin water, and start reading and sharing with me.
