I'm a technologist and entrepreneur living in Seattle WA. My technical and professional interests include start-ups, social media, online advertising, software, scalable online services, cloud computing, consumer devices, and green technology. Personally, I train and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, love MMA, camping, skiing, and my girlfriend Megan (not necessarily in that order). I'm all about changing the world through innovation and recently left Microsoft to scratch my entrepreneurial itch.

2010 Objectives

I don’t normally publish my annual goals this broadly, but this is a critical year for me and the more visibility the more likely they are to happen. P0 is a “must have” and P1 is not a must have. I consider the year successful if and only if all P0s are done. If all P1s are also done, it’s a great year. As with all goals, these may change as priorities change over the year, but this is today’s landscape.

P0 - Compete in BJJ tournament in competition fighting shape
P0 - Get promoted at work
P0 - Get Megan’s company off the ground
P0 - Get SeattleAccountantGuide online and generating revenue
P0 - Study up on C#, ASP.NET MVC, and Windows Azure cloud services

P1 - Win a BJJ tournament
P1 - Train for an MMA fight
P1 - Learn some Portuguese
P1 - Go to Brazil
