Interests:

Outside of my work, which I LOVE, my passion is my wife and young son, discovering new technologies, networking, music (composing, playing drums, and DJing), good food (especially Indian cuisine), socializing, travel, cycling, skiing, adventure sports, football (or soccer to our American cousins), film, theater and gigs (all of which we are spoiled rotten with in PDX). I've also developed a love for college football. I also have an appreciation for fine ales (Portland being the micro-brew capital of the world it seems).

Honor & Awards:

Winner - PRSA Copper Anvil Award 2007 - SAFC Hitech brand development and launch. PR News Platinum Awards 2011 - Honorable Mention - SAFC Live social media hub and blog PR News Platinum Awards 2012 - Honorable Mention - Deca Technologies brand development and launch.
