Profile
I am an innovative, practical, results-driven Creative Director. I have over 15 years of progressive, hands-on experience directing technology projects, managing complex web and interactive media initiatives, leading technical and professional teams, and providing critical business strategy and legal support.
I have been using personal computers on a daily basis since 1982, and am still just as fascinated by their creative power and possibilities as I was then. My professional experience has been mostly Windows-based, but I am platform-agnostic, and have worked professionally with Windows, Mac, and Linux workstations/servers. I favor the simplest tools to get the job done, and in general I strongly believe in the Open Source/DIY ethic.
