Here’s what’s on my mind.
Coming from a background in Eloqua development and marketing automation, here’s where I provide insight into my career, my passions and my life.
Most of these posts are going to be inspired by real life Eloqua based situations that I am currently facing with clients.

If anyone has anything they would like me to review or a situation they would like me to look into get in touch using the contact page and I will do my best to have a post up within about a week.
