Throughout my quarter life I have often asked myself this question. It’s important to have dreams and lofty goals and I’ve always tried to set my expectations high. As my nanny has often said, “Brian, it’s your America”.
In my youth I wanted to grow up to be a pro baseball player. […]
I still remember trying to connect my new Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop in my dorm room the first week of college (all the way back in ‘99 - yikes) and having the nerdy dude on my floor help me figure out how to connect the Ethernet cable to the dongle to the computer. The […]
I’ve had recent conversations with some of my friends who have expressed both their eagerness and frustration to advance their careers. In the current professional environment moving up often means moving on. Unfortunately, most people don’t have jobs that allow them to naturally explore career opportunities within their daily routine. Furthermore, it always […]

Our presentation was the first event […]

Last week I attended the Relay Sports Sponsorship Symposium at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel. I was hoping to interact with brand marketers and get a peak inside their minds for a bit. Sometimes, dealing with marketers, usually through advertising sales, things can boil down to the nitty gritty and you […]
I’ve been a member of nextNY for about a year now. It’s a NYC networking group with a focus on tech and digital media and tends to attract the entrepreneurial types. On the website the description is that nextNY “is basically a fun way to connect both socially and professionally with young people […]
In my last post I wrote about my company, Sportsvite.com. In this post I want to write about my career and discuss how I got here and where I want to go. I’ve taken a more unconventional path than many of my classmates and peers. There have been times where I’ve probably confused […]
