What an honor to receive such a lovely recommendation from Ron Hyde, who you probably all remember from his days as Sports Anchor at KCRA TV. He’s now in the golf world, and I’ve been helping him expand his reach with social media.

Laura O’Brien, Social Media Manager for Sacramento Magazine, was an enthusiastic student in one of my social media workshops. I particularly loved getting to know her, because the following month I was Social Media Director for Sac Fashion Week and she was one of the models. It’s always fun to know someone in the cast of a show. 😉

Jason and I have been co-teachers on a couple of Youtube Marketing classes. He’s a producer on a very popular national television show, and it was fantastic getting a very professional take on how to make Youtube work for a small business. My students loved him!

I was the speaker/trainer last year for the International Assn for Wedding Professionals and met a group of fantastic wedding pros. If you’re a part of the 51 Billion Dollar wedding market, I recommend you join this group!

If you need any kind of real world signage, Robby is the best in Sacramento. He has a huge catalog of options and he has great suggestions for what works. Every time I need banners for a trade show, he’s my guy.

Lisa was Sacramento’s #1 Farm-to-Fork advocate before Sacramento realized what a great concept it was. Her food tours are among Sacramento’s most popular tourist activities.

I’ve worked with Ana on lots of projects over the years, from training a campaign team on Facebook advertising to helping with a client’s reputation management. She is a joy to be around.

Kristin is one of the top public relations professionals in the United States, and she always had the most interesting projects.

Courtney and I worked together to bring the Social Media Business School to El Dorado County, sponsored by the local chambers of commerce. The participants were from all walks of life, but included several of the fabulous El Dorado County winemakers. It was delicious!

In my Making Social Media Work series, I partnered with Northern California’s #1 Instagrammer, Faith Mari Lopez. It was a fantastic class and Erin’s comments were echoed by many of the participants.

Angelique is the founder of a startup company that makes Chocolate Birthday Cards. How sweet is that!

Gail is one of El Dorado Hill’s top realtors and very savvy. She attended my Making Social Media Work workshops in 2015.

Pablo was a great, quick study. It was so fun working with him, because I could share all my best stuff with him and he understood what kind of results they’d deliver.

Melanie Weir and I have been working together on her latest fantastic project – the Roots Kitchen. Melanie is the founder of the Gluten Free Grocery in Midtown Sacramento, the Roots Kitchen will also provide options for those who have food allergies.

Thank you Thomas for your kind words. I’m starting another series of social media classes in Folsom next month.

Thanks for the kind word Raymond! In my Pinterest classes I’ve had students representing 4 of the 5 local television stations and the three largest local restaurant chains. Fantastic!

I’ve worked a lot with Chrysti supporting Sacramento non-profits. She is a fantastic photographer

Sac Fashion Week hired me to direct their social media efforts. We had an audience message reach of 2.7 Million messages and trended on Twitter Worldwide, the first time any Sacramento event achieved that distinction.
