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.

You can also find me on flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Natuba, Upcoming.org, and Netflix.

Week at the lake

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

I’m up at Lake Travis for the week. I was hoping to go out wakeboarding, but the lake is up so high that they’ve closed it. Here’s a shot of our park - notice the swings in the background. The driving range at the golf course is completely underwater, so we weren’t able to warm [...]
