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.
