“Colin is the smartest person in the room. He understands difficult concepts instantly and knows exactly how to solve problems when they arise. Whenever I was stuck on a work project, I could count on Colin to help me figure it out. He also maintains a grasp on the street lifestyle world that is near-impossible for most marketers to get to, by nature of his personal interests and hobbies. He works autonomously and often is too humble about his contributions and successes. It's hard to work and travel with a single person so consistently — but Colin made that not only easy, but enjoyable. I'm happy to call him my friend, soccer teammate, former direct report, and overall spectacular marketing friend that I'm thrilled to watch grow. Any marketing team would be lucky to have him.”

“Over the last 2 years, I have worked closely with Colin and been highly impressed with his organizational skills, deliverable execution and ability to effectively handle and prioritize competing priorities across the 20+ accounts that he supports. Colin is an excellent partner and a great asset to any team. I unconditionally recommend him for any future opportunities and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.”

“Colin and I worked closely together at '47 for almost 4 years. With a tenacious work ethic and attention to detail, Colin was able to drastically increase '47's domestic + international reach and overall brand awareness through multiple seasonal campaigns, retail launches and activations. Not only was he a great employee, his personality was a bright spot at '47. He was constantly engaging across multiple departments and brought a genuine camaraderie to the team.”

“Colin is the type of person I will always want on my team. He's a strategic problem solver — somehow able to take the most convoluted information and turn it into clear, actionable direction. He's someone I rely on and trust wholeheartedly. On top of all that, he's also just a great person and someone you can laugh with. I hope my path crosses again with Colin, but in the meantime, I know anyone else that gets the chance to work with him will be incredibly lucky to have him.”

I worked with Colin for several years in '47's Marketing department -- answering his briefs on the Creative Services team while he managed brand campaigns for several big-ticket Retail and Major League partners. Colin ensured a synergistic marketing/creative environment -- crucial to executing our many campaigns on brief, on budget, and on time. I could always depend on Colin's direction to be friendly, fun, meticulous, timely, and organized. He has a keen ability to brief and evaluate creative assets based on the stakeholder need, brand guidelines, and objective design principles while inspiring new ideas and tactics to remain excited.

His character, personal interests, and natural style give him a certain edge as a Marketer that can't be trained or learned. I would take Colin with me to any team!
