Talented Marketing Executive

During my years at Arrow Electronics, I met and became friends with Tom Thorson, an incredibly talented Marketing Communications Executive. He ran some of the most creative meetings (which were especially important when you are trying to Jazz up over 1000 sales people during a merger kick-off).

More than his keen marketing eye though was his sense for music, graphics and an eye for a great photograph. Every few days I get an email from Tom with several shots he had taken recently. They are always beautiful, well composed and worth soaking in. I always look forward to seeing what he has done lately. Here is one he sent me recently:

He can be found at Tom Thorson Marketing and Design Consulting. Salute Tom!

Proud

An appropriate title for my first post.

The word reflects how I felt when our thirteen year old returned from her mission trip and informed us over our dinner about her new endeavor. She had seen a movie about the children of Uganda – “Invisible children”, and was so touched, she was compelled to do something for them.

She would use her talents to make jewelry and sell to her friends. All profits would go to the children. She built her own website: Jewelry for Joy and she recruited her little sister. They are making some beautiful stuff and are off to a great start!
