I was recently promoted to Senior Director at my day job at a Boston integrated marketing agency. I manage a staff of half a dozen and work with clients such as MIT Sloan, Understood.org, Cushman & Wakefield, and Berkshire Choral International. My job is fast-paced, deadline-driven, and results-oriented -- which means all the lessons I learned from those late nights at The Beacon have come in handy.

My three boys are now 9, 4, and 2 which means there's no sleep or rest of any kind. My wife MJ (class of '01) and I recently bought a new house in Franklin, MA where my oldest walks to school and I can walk to the commuter rail every day to head into Boston for work.
