This isn’t my personal, personal blog. I keep that fairly hidden for family and close friends. This blog is simply a stream of consciousness—things that interest me and just don’t fit very well anywhere else.

I’m the CEO at Lava7, an agency focused exclusively on social media marketing for businesses. I’m also a founding partner at My Social Practice, a comprehensive social media marketing solution for dentists and orthodontists.

In 2008, I founded Cowork Utah, a social media community workspace that provides a collaborative environment for independent designers, bloggers, and programmers.

I’ve worked with the adlab at Brigham Young University. They do great student work. I also teach an MBA course, Social Media Marketing, at BYU’s Marriott School.

I’m a Mormon. I enjoy serving in my church. And although I absolutely love everything I do for a living, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than home with my incredible wife, crazy kids, son-in-law, and grandkids.

Next Time I’m In Seattle, A Must See

Ever heard of the Gum Wall in Seattle? I never had.

Located under Park Place Market, it began in the 90’s, when people waited in line for theatre tickets. Theater workers scraped the wall a couple times, but gave up in 1999, when it became a certified Seattle tourist attraction. The Seattle Gum Wall is also one of the germiest tourist destinations on Earth—ranking second behind Ireland’s Blarney Stone.

Yes, Kinda Like This

Someday I’d like to build a cabin like this one. I love the great outdoors... I just like to be able to sleep at night. This was designed by Gracia Correia and Roberto Ragazzi, and has been described as, “a bold statement that hides nothing”.
