I was born in Lafayette, Louisiana and spent most of my time through high school in the state of Texas. Following that I made a big jump and moved to Laramie, Wyoming where I attended the University of Wyoming and received a degree in Marketing. I love the outdoors and often go camping, hiking, climbing and skiing. When I'm not outside I can be found tinkering around and experimenting with electronics. I'm also a huge movie buff with a huge collection that could rival a rental store (Do those still exist?). There are lots of great movies out there but none can beat Tommy Boy in my book; comedy rocks! At Townsquare Media Corporate, I work with the Live Events and Digital departments running the websites and Social Media for concerts and festivals in cities across the US.

Track Santa & Have Him Tell Your Kids they Have Been Naughty or Nice in a Personal Video
Thanks to family at home, I just found a really awesome website that will create a personal video message to whoever you choose, from Santa himself, to tell them if they have been naughty or nice this past year. If you have kids you need to do this and tell them that Santa has sent them a message because it looks really realistic; best of all it takes about 5 minutes to get set up.
