Marketing Introduction - My First Blog Post

    My name is Dylan Egan. I am 24 years old and have 2 classes left in my associate of Business science degree. I was born and raised in Grants Pass, a town located in southern Oregon. I lived there until a month after I had turned 21 and began a new career at the B.N.S.F railway and was primarily located in the state of Washington where I spent a year in Spokane and then a year in Seattle. After two years with the company I decided it wasn't what I wanted to do so I decided to find something new and go back and get my associates degree. I am now currently employed at Samaritan Health Services as an I.T specialist where I assist employees and customers alike in their technological needs. 

    The main reason I took BA-223 is because it is required for my business science degree, however marketing has always been an interesting concept to me. Mainly the process behind spending hours to finally decide on what specific billboard you want to use or 15 second ad that could possibly best represent you and your business. Overall, I am interested in the thought processes and what is considered when you are trying best market yourself and your business out to the world to try to pull in the most customers possible. 

    I have always been a pretty go with the flow type of person and I have a ton of interest. I love indoor activities such as playing video games and watching movies, but I love being outside just as much. A lot of passions involve boarding of any type but my favorite is snowboarding, hiking, and any sport at all. I spend a lot of time in the gym and enjoy working out. I am even blessed enough to enjoy my job and what I do at work. Overall, most of my free time is consolidated into playing video games competitively with my good friends or spent at the gym.
