For twenty years, I have worked with the world's most admired and valuable company. In my time, I opened Apple North Michigan Avenue in 2003, while Apple Retail was in its infancy, designed training curriculums for Final Cut Pro and other applications, introduced Chicagoland to iPhone, iPad, and countless version of macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and product launches—I developed merchandising initiatives, worked with the Retail Marketing Video Production Team on such projects as Apple Pride (2014), Diversity, directed and produced Stay Curious, Today at Apple program producing, and my current endeavor, AppleCare Digital YouTube.
This is but a small sample of my many years at such an incredible company with incredible people.
