About Me

ABOUT ME

Design dude, Photographer, Cyclist, Snowboarder, Networker, Papa. Not in that order.

A Branding guy I had lunch with said that I am "disarmingly approachable and inquisitive with my own point of view."

I am a "Connector" from Gladwell's Tipping Point.

PHILOSOPHY

I like the adventure of experiencing new things and meeting new people.
