Welcome to my blog.  I write about Social Media and the people behind the technology that is changing the way we interact and do business.

I am formally educated business finance and political science guy and a self taught interactive marketing and collaborative media man.  I am passionate about developing and improving the way we do things.  I love learning and get excited about the opportunity help people implement and lead change in their world.  Social Media, for me lately, has been a really compelling catalyst for positive change and I want to help people leverage Social Media to accomplish their goals.
