Curious George. A troublemaker. That guy who incessantly asked "Why?" as a kid and never grew out of it.

I'm a bit of an explorer. I love experiencing new things, thinking from different angles, experimenting with new hobbies, and applying new techniques so that I can enjoy life more, work smarter, and make more of a difference while I'm still above ground.

I'm a deeply technical person who lives and breathes algorithms, processes, and mechanics. Nevertheless, I have a profound respect for those who can clearly and succinctly see the "big picture". Until I can say I'm one of those people, my exercise in brevity and clarity consists of distilling my thoughts into 140 characters or less.

I think, I design, I plan. I challenge myself to learn more, to be more, and to do more to make a difference in both my personal and professional lives.

Personally, I delve into artistic endeavors in the theatrical, visual, and musical realms.

Professionally, I have experience in corporate, educational, hospitality, and entertainment environments as a designer, technician, trainer, and developer. I hold a CTS accreditation in audiovisual equipment from InfoComm International, am working toward a CAPM certification from the Project Management Institute, and have a background in IT, telecommunications, and entertainment technology.

Every day, I try to interlock art and technology, be it in computer or web programming, product specification and design, conducting a seminar, or even designing spreadsheets (because SOMEBODY'S got to spruce those up)!
