Unofficial Bio
Let me get this off my chest... I've never been comfortable with the concept of having one specific role, job description, or philosophy. So far I've been an ice cream, advertising, and software salesman, a manager in an emergency room, a software developer, and an entrepreneur. Outside of ways I've chosen to make money, I enjoy exploring an eclectic range of ideas, and creating new things.
This website, therefore, is an attempt to weave together the various strands of my life.
