I'm an Internet professional

The Internet. A network of billions of devices enabling global access to almost any information, allowing near instantaneous communication between any individuals using it. In the early days of my career I receieved many puzzled looks when people asked what I did for a living, but that is no longer the case. The Internet is everywhere and encompasses the totality of human information but for some reason we can only assume has something to do with my professional life, of all the billions of websites available to you on this global network, you ended up here. So since you've arrived on this figurative needle in humanity's largest haystack, I encourage you to read on to learn a little bit about me and my work. Hopefully you'll find it worth your while.

I lead from the front

I am a seasoned creative and technical executive experienced in managing people, departments, and companies. My approach to leadership is to set the pace, direction, and example for those working with me. And I attempt to do so with as much of a sense of humour as I can muster. With all that in mind let me offer an analogy: if my career and business experience were a horse race, I'd have a stand full of people screaming incoherently at me, a pack of competitors thundering along on all sides, and a crop-happy jockey on my back seemingly along for the ride. But in reality my day-to-day is focused on converting ideas to tangible reality, while dealing with interpersonal issues, extreme deadlines, and financial pressures. ... Ok, now that I think about it, it's pretty much the same thing; except the horse has a finish line.

I create

In a world of consumers a creator should never go without work. And while the act of creation is an art, its execution is a science. One where criticism, challenge, and refinement are used as expert tools intended to inspire others to action—even if that action is simply to catch their breath.

Some Tuesday Inspiration

I am a great soloist but also a team player

There is rarely a good reason to work entirely alone. Even Michelangelo had Pietro Urbino. It's a truth that has been proven over and over again. Collaboration with others can bring inspiration. It can create new ideas from shared passion. And it can turn a simple concept into a revolutionary work able to change the world.

Much like Steven Spielberg and John Williams...

...Williams enormous contribution to the success of director Steven Spielberg’s pictures cannot be understated. “Without John Williams, bikes don’t really fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes," said Spielberg, who has worked with Williams on 27 movies over 43 years. “There is no Force, dinosaurs do not walk the Earth, we do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe."
