ABOUT:
When I was 15 I was fired from Taco Bell for giving out a soda cup. I told my mom I was a victim of downsizing.
Before advertising I was a School Teacher, Basketball Coach, and Educational Program Director.
After years of making one-sided lunch trades during cafeteria duty I decided it was time for a new adventure. Like any rational person considering a life-altering decision
I consulted Google for about five minutes then decided to go to ad school.
I love going to Disney Parks, cooking, video games, vicariously attempting DIY projects, torturing myself as a Philadelphia Eagles and Mets fan, coming up with get rich quick schemes, holding on to what little athleticism I have left on a basketball court or football field and chasing my son around.
*FULL DISCLOSURE: My entire last name is Dejavichitlert (Day-jaw-witch-it-lert) but who the hell wants to write that out in an email?
