Todd Jennings
Advertising Director
Todd Jennings had previous sales management positions in the printing industry and, most recently, was sales manager for a nationwide producer of schoolbook planners. Todd holds several old records . . . we mean he collects old vinyl records. Les Baxter is a favorite. He then transfers them into digital files to be iTunes compatible. Having seen that, we knew he could produce and direct our podcast recordings, which he does to great effect. That's his voice on The eCommerce Minutes, by the way. He is a graduate of Mesa State College. tjennings@practicalecommerce.com
Timothy Lyons
Account Executive
Timothy Lyons was previously regional sales manager with both Penton Media and Hearst Business Media, where he assisted customers nationwide with electronic, print and other marketing programs. He's a graduate of The University of Kansas and he was also a pitcher on the KU baseball team. That would qualify him to head-up the Practical eCommerce softball team, but, unfortunately, we don't have one. He's an all-star on our sales team, however, and we are lucky he's here. tim@practicalecommerce.com
