CURRENT MISSION

To get a little better every day.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly unabashed geek; I love literature, the theatre (pretty into Broadway for a straight guy), illustration art, gaming, and movies. I go to Dragon*Con in Atlanta every September, and I direct GeekOut in Asheville every June.

I'm active! I run, swim, and do adventure races. While I am running or swimming is the only hour a day I am *absolutely not* reachable by the outside world.

I love hiking, rock climbing, traveling, swing dancing, and playing Capoeira!

PHILOSOPHY

"It all just disappears, doesn'€™t it? Like breath on a mirror. But times change, and so must I. We all change, when you think about it - we’re all different people, all through our lives. And that'€™s ok, that'€™s good, you'€™ve got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day. I swear, I will always remember when the Doctor was me."

Paradox, humor, change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raced 60 MPH go-carts in the desert of Utah. I've done a lot of other stuff, too, but that was really a good one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to look at marketing strategies or business plans and offer constructive help. :-)

Also, to proofread and rewrite homework or writing of any kind.
