What do you do at Proteus? I design, field and interpret all marketing research studies supporting all Proteus creative efforts.

Of the various things you've done at Proteus, what are you most proud of? Design and fielding of HDI branding and closet door research that supported our recommendations to implement both programs, and then having Home Depot buy into the recommendations - a decision worth $160 million in orders to HDI.

Is there anything else we should know about you? After graduating college, I had offers from the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders to come to training camp and try to win a job as an offensive lineman. I thought long and hard, stepped on the scale and decided to start a career in business. It was the best decision I ever made.
