I am originally from a small town in Kansas. I have lived in Portland (OR), Seattle, Wichita, and Cleveland. I am a big believer in technology and how it shapes the world around us. The ability to work, play, travel, invent, etc is so different than when I was a kid. Every decade it grows exponentially. That makes this a very exciting time to be alive. I love to see how technology changes the way we communicate, do business, how we shop, how we travel. I believe to keep up, we need to be ever aware of changing trends in social media, mobile technology, and social interaction.

I am a sustainability advocate, because I love people and the actions we take will affect countless others around us. The planet is a small place that can take of itself, if we stop screwing it up. If we learn to care about our fellow man, then we see the needs of the world and society as a whole are more important than our own wealth and power.

I am an avid techno-geek. While I don't always buy them, I love new gadgets and toys. Manufacturers take note: I would love to review your techno toys!

I am an artist, working mostly in photography and mixed media.
