Who am I?

I'm a designer, a photographer, a consultant, a college student, a skiier, a net native, a theatre fanboy, and an Australian (if living there for three years counts). Here's some articles about me.

I have a coworking space in Downtown Bryan called The Creative Space, where I'm working on Erickson Media Group, Activist Apparel, and a few other projects.

I'm also one of the founders of the BIL Conference, a free unconference run in conjunction with TED.

Photowalking in College Station

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I’m thinking about trying to start a photowalking here in College Station. Photowalking is where you get a group of photographers, pick a location, and just go shoot. Thomas Hawk and Robert Scoble have been doing quite a few over in San Francisco and it looks pretty fun. Anyone interested?

Business Startup Seminar

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I went to the first meeting of my Business Startup Seminar today. Didn’t really learn anything new (I guess that’s why it’s called “Business Startup 101″) but I did get to meet a really cool entrepreneur and professor from A&M. He’s working on some pharmaceutical startup and a social networking one. Hopefully he’ll be [...]

Bob Gfelder, Senior VP of Lowe’s

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

More photos at Mays Business School’s flickr page.
This is why I like taking photos for the business school - I get to listen (and shoot) some really interesting speakers. The Senior Vice President of Lowe’s came to speak to Marketing MBA class and gave a great presentation on Lowe’s marketing strategy. My undergrad classes now [...]

Casino Royale was a great movie, but Sony ruined the DVD

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Casino Royale was the best James Bond I’ve seen in a long time. So when it came out on DVD we had to get it. But I ran into a big problem.
Sony put some really annoying copy protection on it which wouldn’t let me copy it to my computer. I have all my movies [...]

Sold iPodincar.net

I set up the website about 3 years ago when I first got my iPod. After a few months I stopped updating it and left it alone. It [...]

Texas A&M EMS had a fake mass casualty event as a training exercise today. More photos here.

CEO of Walmart

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Eduardo Castro-Wright is the CEO of the Wal-Mart Stores Division in the United States, and he came to speak to the Texas A&M MBA Students today. I didn’t expect his speech to be so interesting. He has the passion and excitement you’d expect from the entrepreneurs behind a startup, except it’s applied to one of [...]
