Navajo County, Arizona
Source of Origin
I bet you've never heard of anyone with the last name "Reidhead". If you have, then its 90% probable they originated in northern Arizona. Towns like Show Low, Pinetop, Snowflake. They are ranchers and builders. A few local politicians. How did I end up doing what I do? My folks turned hippie and hit the road headed back east. The rest is history.

Fitz's Restaurant and Bottling Co.
St. Louis is full of pocket neighborhoods steeped in culture, history and flair. The Delmar Loop tops the list with eclectic stores and chef-driven restaurants. Carved out of an abandoned bank building, Fitz's is a combination restaurant and bottling company serving their signature root beer alongside an extensive food menu. I managed Fitz's Restaurant during which time I also took on the creative aspects for marketing both the restaurant and the bottling company.

St. Louis Community College
With four campuses spread across the city, St. Louis Community College (SLCC) is a massive enterprise. From student handbooks to graduation ceremonies, recruitment material to alumni keynote events, there was never a shortage of work. In fact, each campus had its own co-brand, making it four distinct clients under one umbrella.

Interactive Director
Heinrich Marketing
I started Heinrich as a production artist, learned coding on the side, then built the agency's first web site. It won an international award and Heinrich Interactive was born. With clients like Macy's and Bloomingdales, the division was well-positioned to establish itself as an industry leader. Starting with online loyalty programs then branching out to early e-commerce, Heinrich Interactive gave their clients a footprint in the exploding online retail landscape. The net result? We grew and succeeded even through the dot-com bubble burst.

B.A. English | Minor in Anthropology
UM-St. Louis
For five years I lived and breathed literature. An indulgence I don't regret. After all, literature is design. They are both dependent on patterns and ratios. You're just swapping words for pixels.
Why the Anthro degree? I believed then, and believe still, it's our obligation to understand other cultures. Even Trobriand Islanders, though I'm not likely to ever meet one.

My high school had about 2,000 students when I went there. Today, it no longer exists. My claim to fame? Being voted Best Personality my senior year. Did I play sports? No. Letter? No. Achieve academic honors? I honestly don't remember.
