The time there and it has served me well. I worked for a newspaper as an industrial electrician when I was discharged. For you young folks we didnt have IT departments back then so electricians and electronics technicians programmed ladder logic into PLCs ran ethernet and networked computers. I quickly caught the programming bug and started automating myself out of a job literally. At the time database marketing and the internet were in their infancy and I knew I needed to leap despite having a great job.
I moved to Denver where I joined a premiere Phone Number List database marketing company that helped Newspapers analyze subscription retention and build omnichannel strategies that geographically and demographically layered newspapers TMC and direct mail campaigns over GIS data to target specific segments. We used some of the first ETL tools and built some of the first SaaS platforms although they didnt have that name then. Unfortunately we also ran out of funding during the dotcom boom and bust. At the time I was also flying my kids back and forth to the Midwest to spend time with their mother I was a single father so I decided to look for a job there.
I landed at the local newspaper and launched their direct mail business. for the fastest and most profitable initiative at the paper we were met with quite a bit of flack from newspaper leadership. Thankfully they grew weary of me calling them dinosaurs and showed me the door. As fate would have it within days I landed. I helped a friend implement email marketing also in its infancy at an NFL franchise. When the ESP found out what I did I had the most incredible job interview ever I was handed a pile of job descriptions and asked which one I wanted. I selected an integration consultant and for the next couple of years I traveled the globe.
