What\u2019s your favorite hat?<\/h3>\n<p>I do the most switch-hitting around here\u2014I do copywriting, web development, photography, technical staff training, and content management. My favorite thing to do is something random, technical, and has a whole bunch of industry terminology. Being able to figure out what a company does, learn about it from a technical standpoint, and communicate to that industry and audience is cool.<\/p>\n<p>For example, FG Clean Wipes comes from a surprisingly technical industry. When we went on-site to their manufacturing facility in Massachusetts to lead a seminar, I was giving a presentation on clean wipe attributes and branding correlations. I could tell I was boring the hell out of everyone in the room except for their lead sales guy. He said he lived and breathed the stuff and he loved what I had to say, so it was really cool to talk to someone who has been in the industry for 25 years and really speak their language. That\u2019s my favorite part about what I do here.<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-235e83-ff5b7ae05545e7437cfed3ea1deb4aad\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-235e83-ff5b7ae05545e7437cfed3ea1deb4aad{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-235e83-ff5b7ae05545e7437cfed3ea1deb4aad hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>What is the biggest influence and inspiration for your personal craft?<\/h3>\n<p>It really depends on the tasks of the day.
