About Me

I am the Marketing Director for ATR International, which is a IT consulting/contract staffing firm in Northern California. I’ve been in the business of marketing services for over 10 years and spend so much of my time thinking about it that I figured why not write my thoughts down in some sort of organized manner. So this blog sort of doubles as a journal for me and a place where I can share thoughts and exchange ideas with others.

Any views or opinions I express on this personal blog are in no way the views of ATR International nor endorsed by them. You can blame me directly for anything you see here that you don’t like.

You can email me at jmonaghan at gmail dot com. I’m happy to help in any way that I can.


Currently on my nightstand

The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene
My geek side finds this a fascinating look into the world of physics and string theory. Written in a way that schmo’s like me can understand. (This book pretty much stays on my nightstand)

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
The story of 30 year old Ignatius Reilly, a bright but “slothful” man who lives in New Orleans with his mother. Due to family circumstances, he must set out to find a job. This book details his amusing encounters with various French Quarter inhabitants.
