I’m an English major who got interested in technology a long time ago, spent some time leading a web development team, and is now more on the business side of professional life. Currently, I’m starting up a new division for Premier, the leading lifeskills and student success company in North America. On the side, I consult for select clients through my private company, Sparkplug 9.

On a personal note I’m 34, married, and have three kids (Gabrielle - 9, Ethan - 6, Aidan - 3). We live near Vancouver, British Columbia, though I work on both sides of the US-Canada border.

I get passionate about aesthetics, design, and usability, and wonder if those three words are really just one concept. And I get excited about new ways of doing business and marketing … ways that respect people as people, ask more than answer, listen more than talk, try to serve, and, most importantly, create absolutely amazingly awesome stuff.

I play ice hockey, among other sports, and read history, science fiction, and just about anything else. I like pieces in just about every genre of music except rap, hip hop, and death metal.

The most important part of my life is serving God, loving my wife, and raising our kids.

There’s always more: people are only simple at a distance. Up close they’re granular, craggy, and complex.

But I’ve used the word “I” way too much already. So that’s all I’ll write here. But if you’re interested, here’s a resume.

Have a great day, and God bless.
