Cruise Market Watch

About

Experience, passion and knowledge strongly correlate with performance. These characteristics are outliers on a normally distributed curve, but can be put to work in your businesses to meet custom market research and analysis needs.

My passion is applying analytical and strategic thinking to development of remarkable products and promotions that resonate with target audiences and grow revenue.

Considering something like this for your business or industry? After all, if you are still here the chances are good I can help find and hold your customers too.

I hold a Masters degree in Applied Anthropology with a parallel emphasis in Business and Statistics from Northern Arizona University. I have over 17 years in marketing research experience as consultant, analyst, manager in a Fortune 500 company and market intelligence consultant.  I have received the Media Innovation Award from the Newspaper Association of North America, Pinnacle Award from American Marketing Association and Praxis Award from the Washington Association of Professional Anthropologists. I have been involved in the design, implementation and analysis of hundreds of surveys and focus groups as well as conducting statistical analysis of large internal customer databases. I also currently teach business statistics at the University level part time.
