Ok…at the risk of sounding egotistical or self deprecating…I'll talk about myself.

What do I do for work?

I am Director of Technology for a small advertising firm that works mainly with travel and tourism websites. We've taken on the task of helping our clients promote green initiatives within their local travel bureaus.

Why do I do it?

Well, the simple answer is…know any other way to get a paycheck and play with computers all day long?  The long-er answer is that I enjoy knowing that what I am doing helps budget strapped tourism boards do the right thing by promoting sustainable travel and tourism practices.

What do I believe in?

I'm reinventing myself right now.  I'm re-learning, the hard way, many lessons that were given to me as a child, but never explained.  I put no blame of my life's teachers.  I do wish, however, someone had sat me down and explained the lessons and the consequences of not following them or at least let me explore, in the youth environment, their pros and cons.
