I was fortunate to meet Dean at the ARCSI Leadership Convention in April 2011. Dean's passion for his business and dedication to educate the participants was amazing! He came a day early to sit at round tables, offering to go to lunch with people, stayed before and after his speaking engagement to answer questions. Dean was also a keynote speaker during the event and taught social media in an understandable, easy to navigate process. Social media can be overwhelming but with Dean you can be a Social Media Rock Star!
