Who am I?

Experience collector. Entrepreneur. Husband. Dad of 2 boys. I've had a serious case of wanderlust for too many years, so I decided to sell my stuff, pack my family in and RV and travel the US for a minimum of 12 months. I'm the CEO of www.SwashbuckleMedia.com, a virtual direct response marketing & creative agency and I write about marketing and business stuff over at www.BrandonBoyd.com. I like thought provoking conversation, smooth whiskey and an occasional cigar.
