Stating the Obvious

I’m always traveling. The most often thing I’m asked is “Where are you traveling next?” Which, luckily, is my favorite question since I love to reminisce about all of the places I’ve been and fantasize about where I’m going next.

I spend a lot of time on the internet. Building websites is one thing, but I am also a User of the Internet. I use the crap out of this stuff. If you need somebody to UX test for you, I have a pretty straight grasp on how it should work.

I always have a mug of Earl Grey going cold on my desk. If I could get away with a pot of tea and saucer of milk I would totally do that too, just for the production of it all.

One of my hands is always occupied by my phone or camera. I might take “pix or it didn’t happen” a little too seriously… The 12,000+ photos on flickr probably give me away?
