This Site
This is an experimental site I’ve set up to support my efforts to become a Certified Digital Marketer. I already have a broad base of experience in Privacy, IT Security, Legal and Compliance. I’ve supported consumer contact for several years (email, telemarketing, collections) and am now increasing my technical acumen so I can better consult on online advertising projects.
Site Content
This site is populated with personal research I’ve performed to make sure I have a current understanding of what is happening in the world of advertising and consumer contact. Any content here is my opinion only, and should not be attributed to or considered shared or endorsed by any person with whom or any organization with which I may be affiliated.

I’m not a lawyer, but am an autodidact who has developed an interest in reading case law and enforcement actions. Again, I’m simply expressing a point of view; one that is colored by my personal and professional experiences. These experiences may or may not be relevant to you, but I hope you find the content entertaining nonetheless.
