A Little About me…

I am an avid learner and I am fascinated with the fusion of technology and communication. Not only in its implementation, but also macro trends of the tech industry and the future of information distribution.

When I'm not being a techie you'll often find me at the pool, though I'm no sunbather. I've been a competitive swimmer my entire life and can't live without it.
