Damian Rintelmann, the Director of Interactive Business Development for integrated marketing communications firm Hart Associates is the June 2009 Black Rucksack Polestar!

There are some guys that from the moment you meet them, you know they have what it takes to succeed. I met Damian back in 2000 at in Internet company in East Lansing, MI and knew immediately that he was one of those guys. And for the past nine years, he has proven to be exactly that. Damian is an industry leader in digital marketing, a well-regarded community organizer and one of the fastest guys I’ve ever seen on the ice.

Excerpt:
What is one adventure or event that you’ve experienced that shook you at your core?
-There was one trip in particular that shook me to my core. I was backpacking with a relative out in Arizona. We were up in the mountains, 60 miles from the closest town and there was an unexpected snowfall. We didn’t have the right gear, and found out really quickly what a mistake it was.
