About KOB

Brief
I am a writer at heart.

I wrote my first short story when I was 7 years old, and my love for putting pencil to paper followed me through years at San José State University, where I declared myself a Journalism major.

But as is the case with all first loves, I was curious about what else the world of communications had to offer. So shortly after graduating from SJSU, I entered the razzle-dazzle world of marketing. I was hooked from day one. The idea of making an unknown product or service into a household name sounded exciting, so I jumped in, head first.

Almost 2 years later, although I’ve shifted into advertising, the field still makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.

I’ve been asked, “Where will you be in ten years?” often over the years, and have always prepared an answer. But now, I think I’ll just sit back, relax, and see where life takes me. One thing’s for sure; I’m looking forward to finding out.
