Q: What led you to start Duneland Media?

Each client is a new challenge for us.

A: I’d say when we decided that our client base is large enough justify taking that next leap into opening up our office and hiring a new team member.

Q: Do you have a favorite quote?

A: Yes my favorite quote is by former hockey player Wayne Gretzky. You miss 100% of the shots you never take.

Q: Why did you go into marketing?
