It was a pleasure working with Olin at BR. He provided a brainstorming outlet, which allowed me to become more digitally savvy. Olin also taught me a lot about the digital world in general which allowed me to more effectively communicate strategic recommendations with my clients. He also has a very inquisitive mind which breeds creativity in it's truest form.

I enjoyed my time spent with Olin at Red Letter – both around the office and working with him directly on client projects. Olin brought a depth of knowledge and insight, and also contributed a strong desire to continually learn and strive for the best. Not only was he able to provide strong rationale for his strategic recommendations, but he was more than willing to share his knowledge. I've seen clients benefit from this ability to educate others, and I have personally benefited from from it too. He also brought a positive energy into the office that translated directly into his projects (as well as his uplifting sense of humor). It was refreshing to work with someone as dedicated and enthusiastic towards their work, while still maintaining a positive attitude. Through Olin's different experiences and roles he's learned to question everything as he finds the right solution. It's not about what is easy or expected – but about what is best. He ensures projects remain consistent and accurate with all other marketing materials, industry standards, proper etiquette for the media, etc. This passion for our industry is something that should be respected and appreciated. His drive, and the desire to achieve the best, is extremely unique and truly sets Olin apart from others.

      Bargain House was a remote online storefront which grew into over 6,500 square feet of physical inventory sold exclusively through online marketplaces. Working supply through reverse logistics contracts with Best Buy and Walmart, our online startup would purchase, sort, house, and sell closeouts and overstock consumer electronics through the boom of digital audio (iPod), digital video (flat screen panels), and peripheral devices (audio docks). Staying ahead of the tech curve kept our inventory in high demand, protecting our margins in a competitive marketplace. Additionally, we tapped into social media before large brands had taken the time to understand the value of building and interacting with a social community. With little capital, and even less resources, we grew the concept of Bargain House off personal recommendations, social interactions, rich video reviews, and emerging online marketplaces.

      After interning with CMT, I had the opportunity to work with several CMT-hosted promotional and live on-air events. Most of my time was spent working as a production assistant for the live broadcast event of the 2008 CMT Music Awards. This was a great opportunity to work on, and witness, my first live broadcast event. Additionally, I continued to conduct freelance work with the CMT Promotions department. Besides assisting with events around Nashville, I also worked closely with the CMT team to promote the series "Can You Duet?"
