I’ve lived here for almost a decade of my life on and off, but I was actually born and raised in the Bahamas. My family still lives there, which makes for great family vacations . I came to the U.S. to attend school in 1994, and since then I’ve lived, traveled and worked abroad. In the last 16 years I’ve lived as far west as Sydney, Australia and as far east as Paris, France but the majority of that time was spent working in the United States. After finishing a bachelor’s degree in Business Management at Boston University in 2002, I spent an enjoyable year at an internet marketing startup in Boston, and then moved to D.C. to complete a masters degree in Communications, Culture and Technology at Georgetown University. At graduate school I started researching how people interact and communicate in virtual communities and I quickly developed an intense interest in information technology and human behavior. I’ve been exploring and writing about the intersection of technology and people ever since, searching for insights into the emotional connections that we forge with digital media, and for answers to how we can use technology to improve our lives and humanize our businesses.

Over the last 2 years I’ve had opportunities to speak and share ideas about technology’s role in business at events like Connected Marketing Week San Francisco 2010, and as a guest host on TwitterTalkRadio. Helping companies and individuals build their web presence and connect with their clients and customers is work that I genuinely enjoy, and it’s something I’ve become passionate about.

When I’m not working, I spend as much time as I can reading and writing. My blog, which I started in mid 2007, explores how we use technology to live, connect and do business. I’m fascinated by how design choices, technological innovation, and the spread of ideas impacts change, and how community building and information sharing are helping us build better businesses and better lives. These are the core themes that surface repeatedly in my writing, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share ideas with others, and to continuously learn through writing and discussion. Although I don’t blog every day, I actively participate in conversations around the web daily. For links to the most up-to-date stuff I’m reading and sharing, you can find me on Twitter.
