  Dollar Per Month

  Jan 2010 - Dec 2014

  Founder

  The Concept of Dollar Per Month is simple. Combined we can massive impact with minimal sacrifice. You join DPM and contribute a small amount, as little as $1 per month. (Like the Basement I just named the business for what it was $1 per month) The total donations are pooled every month and as a member you get to vote to help decide how the money is distributed. 1st place gets 50% of the pool, 2nd place gets 30% and 3rd place gets 20% no charity losses. Every month this process repeats with three new charities each pre-screened for reputation, financial responsibility, impact, and other important factors. The site is setup to eliminate all of the barriers to creating measurable positive change in the world. By leveraging small individual contributions, educating and showcasing the most important causes and mixing them up in a social media frenzy everyone is capable of making a difference. The site is fun too, you can vote, compete with friends, and share your generosity on all types of social media platforms. Show less

  Pita PIt

  Apr 2013 - Jul 2014

  Branding Promotion

  Conceptualize new directions, modifications, or enhancements to every aspect of the Pita Pit Brand. Work internally and externally to implement initiatives to increase Brand Awareness, Brand Loyalty and Market Saturation. About Pita PitPita Pit was founded on the idea that people want an exciting alternative to fast food restaurants—a place with great tasting food that’s healthy, fresh, and still served fast. (Because who isn’t burned out on burgers and pizza, and bottomed out on subs?) So Pita Pit ditched all the heavy breads and buns—along with the higher carbs and fat that today’s health-conscious consumers are trying to avoid.Instead, we came up with our own special light and tasty Lebanese-style pitas. And vowed to fill them with only the good stuff. Leaner, savory meats that could be grilled to perfection. Unique flavorful cheeses. A larger choice of crisp, fresh veggies, exotic toppings, including our own zesty signature sauces. Our pitas were also developed with a special fold, so these tantalizing flavors could be all rolled into one.This "fresh thinking and healthy eating" could now be served up quickly for people on the go. And for those who weren’t in a hurry, we designed our restaurants to provide a casual and fun atmosphere—part of which includes friendly employees who are good at what they do and treat every customer as special.Once we began serving lunch and dinner (late-night snacks, too), our unique idea took off. People of all ages and professions have quickly come to love Pita Pit. Franchising began in Canada in 1997, and within two years, it came to the US, where today it’s quickly spread to locations nationwide. (We’ve even began serving breakfast.) Pita Pit is a hit.
