I'm creative. Always have been. As my father recalls, at the age of five, I took apart my model cars just to put them back together. I drew all over my parent’s fireplace hearth. I doodled on just about every exam I ever had in school. I build things. I craft things. I draw things. I create things.

I can build a home with lego, complete with a grand foyer, chef’s kitchen and walk-in closets. My son believes this to be my greatest skill set. Perhaps he’s right. But my little guy may not be aware of my full range of talents, from helping start-up companies achieve their goals and execute their vision, to working with Boards of Directors and Senior VPs at large organizations. I have managed teams of 15+ extraordinary members, internal and external, always with a mind to building rapport and encouraging individual and team success - in whichever way success may be defined and measured.

I’m very passionate when it comes to my work in online communications. So much so that I’m establishing my second conference on design, content and usability. I’m imaginative. I love to share my ideas and show how I can help individuals or large companies improve their capabilities. I also have lots of splinters thanks to a devotion to wood-working.
