20-year veteran recruiter, experienced in sourcing, recruiting and consultative selling. Innovative, inquisitive and adventurous, my diverse experiences as an entrepreneur, journalist/designer, team and community builder, improviser, Toastmaster, global citizen and more uniquely influence how I consult and coach around selling and hiring. While I remain the most seasoned creative recruiter in Atlanta with a design degree, I long ago evolved much beyond your ordinary recruiter. I coordinate, attend and speak at a variety of events and conferences to keep my contacts fresh, my skills sharp and my pulse on an ever changing broader market. Most of my recruiting and sales consulting has been focused on design, UX, mobile, technology, product management, marketing/pr and other related communities. I only recruit on retainer unless training/consulting internal teams on the specifics of creative recruiting or (occasionally) sourcing as a part-time/temporary member of a recruiting team. Because recruiting is essentially a sales process and most of my prior roles have had some sort of business development requirement, I often use by my sourcing and search skills in my coaching and consulting practice to help others prospect for jobs, clients/projects and other opportunities.

When I was 11 years old my spinal cord was attacked by a virus that left me partially paralyzed from the diaphragm down. I’m grateful for such a unique challenge in life as it has set me apart from others in a big way. Using a wheelchair and crutches doesn’t stop me from pursuing my passions and has given me the experiences I needed to learn how to succeed in a world designed by pedestrians. THE FORMATIVE YEARS I’ve been developing my work ethic since early high school. I always had at least two major projects going on at once. I was a consistent competitor in University Interscholastic League tournaments specializing in One Act Play, Prose/Poetry Reading, and Extemporaneous Speaking. My evenings were spent in theater rehearsals and my weekends at speech and debate tournaments. My Junior and Senior year I competed at the national level in the National Forensic League for Oratory, Humorous Interpretation, and Prose Reading. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE My love for entrepreneurship and passion towards multimedia storytelling has lead me to positions like Creative Art Director, Business & Marketing Strategist, and Serial Entrepreneur. Since 2009 I've been a co-founder of two businesses and they both still exist today. I've sold one business and am still an active partner in the other. I've lead teams to success in business planning, strategic digital marketing development, creative marketing campaign development, and much more. My mission is to empower those who are inspiring others. These are leaders within all types of organizations including both nonprofit and for-profit teams.

I was born in Jonglei, a region in South Sudan. In 1987, I was forced to flee my homeland at the age six. Without parents, I fled to Ethiopia, and then to Kenya due to the outbreak of civil and religious war. I was one of the 35,000 wandering children that became known as the Lost Boys of Sudan. We roamed the land until we were accepted into an Ethiopian Refugee camp. After four years in Ethiopia, our journey continued onward to the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. By the time of our acceptance into the camp, our group had diminished to 16,000 children. Many of the young boys on the journey had died from starvation, wild animals, swollen rivers, and gunfire. This is where I received minimal schooling. Without instruction, I developed my skills as an artist during nine-years stay. Nashville Tennessee, become my new home after this period of my life.I paint from imagination, I paint from imagination, observation and memory. Most of my work is about Africa, especially native African animals and scenery. I primarily paint with oil, acrylic on canvas, paper, and river rock. Many of my painting tells the story of the Lost Boys, which I call “The Journey of Hope”. “Painting the obstacles that we faced is very difficult, but I think of it as an opportunity to reflect on God’s provision to us during that time”. I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2009, where I majored in Fine Art. I returned to my home in South Sudan in 2007 and 2010. My cousin Jok Dau and I founded a Buckeye Health Clinic in our village to provide maternal and child health services. We have helped raise over $400,000, built two buildings, hired staff, and vaccinated over 600 children. For my community service, I was the recipient of the Robert Dunkin Alumni Award from The Ohio State University Alumni Association in 2016. I live in Columbus Ohio with my wife, daughter and 3 sons. I have also written a book, The Journey of Hope, which details the many challenges I faced after I fled my village until I was resettled as a refugee unaccompanied minor, in the United States. I have shared my story with elementary, middle and high school students, and at universities in Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. I have also been the keynote speaker at the Ohio Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages annual conference, and the Lakeside Chautauqua, Peace and Justice week program.
