BRANDS I'VE WORKED WITH

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

What impresses me most about Shannon is his knack for seeing things a few levels beyond what most other people see. That's generally expected among strategists--seeing things from all angles, projecting what will work and what won't--but Shannon is able to take it even further. And that translates to solid analysis and smart recommendations. In other words, developing the right strategies, executing and getting results. He's also great at building consensus and is always easy to work

Shannon and I worked closely together on many large projects at Taylor Guitars. Shannon is an absolute leader in the digital marketing space. He was able to successfully manage and coordinate large enterprise level initiatives such as a fully responsive website, Mobile App Resourcing and helped guide the success of a large module library. Working alongside Shannon was wonderful because he is extremely well versed in all things creative and technical, which is very rare. He can speak to complex engineering issues, and then turn around and provide insightful point of views on creative and user experience topics. I hope I’m lucky enough to work with Shannon again in the future.

He has a rare blend of technical skills, creativity, positive can-do attitude and great personality. He is highly organized and knows how to juggle competing prioritizes to get projects done on time. He would be an asset to any digital team.

Imagine someone who just gets it.... someone who understands the creative process... someone who understands technology... someone who understands people... and I don't say all of that lightly, because all of that is a lot... but that was Shannon. When you work with him you can feel his expertise and you know that it comes from time and experience. Time spent to dig into the nuances and intricacies of digital, and experience to parse all of that into what matters. I valued his thoughtfulness in each decision. I valued his dedication to simply figuring out a solution and making it happen. Above all I valued his commitment to collaboration and his firm belief that we are all better together than we are alone.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

How does a guy who used to run a neuroanatomy lab wind up at the center of Jetty Extracts’ digital marketing team?

At the UCSD School of Medicine, I researched neurons. It was fascinating stuff. I loved it. Soon, I was published.

Then something happened. I discovered that while I’m passionate about biology, I was less passionate about biology as a career.

I took a leap, changed everything – and put the more creative half of my double-major to work. Scientific illustration meant I could pursue more passions: Art, science, digital design – and an increasing obsession with the internet. How it works. Its applications and evolution. The timing couldn’t have been better. The internet exploded, so did my brain.

I feel like I was born for this. I’ve never looked back.

Center to my personal life in San Diego is my wife and two girls. Woven amongst the four of us is art, surfing, code, film, travel, good food – and an amazing assortment of inspirational characters we’re happy to call friends.
