My place of birth is:
Toledo, Ohio
My hobbies are: You'll see me on the Volleyball Court, at a Crossfit Gym or at our awesome Metroparks.
The last good book I read was: I'm a huge Sci-Fi Nerd. I just finished Mistborn Book 6.
Something no one knows about me: I was struck by lightning.
My burning desire is to:
Travel to different parts of the world and spend a month at each destination.
The reason I got into advertising/marketing:
I love growing people's businesses. The power of the internet just seems to be endless and somewhat magical when you apply it correctly.
My key to success is:
Surrounding myself with people smarter then myself.
Best thing about being an AAF Toledo member:
I'm not sure yet as I'm brand new but I am looking forward to finding out.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Welcome to spring, it's been wonderful enjoying the nicer weather and getting out and about. It's always this time of the year when we think about what is next for our lives. If you are looking to enjoy some of the great things Toledo has to offer, check out AdBID, our online auction. AdBID is home to some great stuff to help you make the most out of your spring and summer! Bid on items like advertising packages with most of our local media, or events such as the Broadway Series at The Valentine Theatre! Check it out: www.32auctions.com/adbid.
We had a great program this past month. Our speaker from comScore, Julia Johnston, was a hit and that was one of the most data driven luncheons in a long time. Our new luncheon venue continues to be well received; great service and the food was delicious !
Our May luncheon returns to The Premier on Heatherdowns on May 18th and our speaker is pending. We are partnered with the East Toledo Family Center, a valuable partner in an empowered community where their mission is to strengthen one life at a time. This is a great organization doing a lot of good in the Toledo area and they are in need of our support, so please bring a donation item if you are able. Check out their wish list. It should be a great event and I'm looking forward to seeing you there. Please RSVP to Patty by Monday, May 16.

How to Submit a Guest Blog Post to AAF Toledo
The ideal length for a post is between 850 and 1,000 words and must not have been previously published.
Come up with a great idea. To be considered, AAFTOL blog topics should be related to advertising, marketing and communications. Write something that you would want to read yourself.
Send a proposal. Send a brief proposal to director@aaftoledo.org. Please do not send the full article. Keep it brief: a tentative headline; two or three sentences explaining what the blog will be about; and one sentence saying why you are qualified to write it. Based on this proposal AAFTOL will let you know within three business days whether to submit the article.
Write with the reader in mind. Writing for the web is different from writing for print. The best way to organize the piece is to start with a brief set-up that hooks the reader. Then organize the rest in segments. Assume the reader is busy and has a short attention span. Short paragraphs and headings within the article make it easier to read.
Include a brief bio at the top. Your name; the name of your company (with a link to your website); and if you've written a book relevant to the article, the title of that book with a link to the Amazon page or to your website if the book is available for sale there. If you tweet, please indicate that, and include a link to your Twitter profile page.
Submit the completed article. Please submit your final version by pasting into the body of an e-mail, or attach it as a Microsoft word document. Your submission will be reviewed by AAFTOL editorial board. If we have any questions, comments or concerns, we will contact you.
What happens next? AAFTOL will acknowledge receipt of the blog within 24 hours, and let you know within a week whether it has been accepted for publication. If it is, AAFTOL reserves the right to edit the article, including changes in the text, subheads and headline, to improve readability and maximize web traffic.
