Jason Preston: New Media Director @ The Parnassus Group

In the world of social media, if it seems like Jason Preston is in a lot of places, it is because, simply put, he is. He was at the 140 Twitter Conference, Ignite, Social Media for Businesses Conference, Podcamp Seattle—the list goes on. The point is, Jason is a guy in high demand. It’s for good [...]


Steven Matsumoto of Stigmare & Emerald City Fashion Week

Steven Matsumoto dresses well. VERY well. He dresses like he knows what he’s doing when he puts things on and goes out in public with them. I, on the other hand, am more than happy to wear the one piece of clean clothing that I can find available, which is more often than not from my [...]


Cheryl Nichols: IABC Seattle

To say Cheryl Nichols is involved in Seattle’s social media community would be an understatement of epic proportions. It seems that whenever I’m at an event, regardless of who I’m speaking with, her name comes up in conversation because of all the great things she’s doing involving social media and digital communications. As a board [...]


Elliott Pesut: Alaska Airlines’ Twitter Guy

It’s been a busy 2009 for Alaska Airlines.

With so much that could get [...]

Ethan Yarbrough: President of Allyis & Enterprise 2.0 Guru

Within Seattle’s social media community, I am always amazed by all the truly gifted minds I am able to come across. It seems that at every SMC Seattle meeting or tweetup I go to, there is an abundance of folks who are absolutely brilliant. Most often, I find that these are those who have a firm [...]


Paolo Tosolini: Microsoft’s Podcast Guru

Passionate; it’s a word that could be used to describe practically everyone within Seattle’s social media scene and for good reason. Without passion, none of us would be attending events, conversing with one another, or doing what we’re doing to keep this social media thing here in Seattle growing. Simply put, without passion within everyone [...]
