What were some of the things that you experienced that shaped the way you approach your work?
I’ve always worked in situations where creative solutions were needed to solve problems: lack of budget/resources/staff/time/etc. – so I’ve learned to work quickly and efficiently yet still produce quality work.
What’s the one thing you wish people knew about your job?
Just how expansive it is and that I can never do all I want or think I need to do.
What is the one tool for your job that you can’t live without, and why?
MacBook Pro – I can do 99.9% of my job with this tool, anywhere, anytime.
What is the biggest mistake that you see churches making when it comes to communications and marketing?
Not telling their story well.
