In today’s world, trustworthy information is everything. Some of my truths are listed below; they are but a fraction of what makes me a passionate, creative, and reliable person, employee, and friend.
Storytelling
Modern storytelling has ties to ancient folklore; using those traditions to compel and persuade gives us meaning much deeper than just surface noise. We welcome tales that engulf our senses, surround us with emotion, and cause us to think.
Food
I have loved to cook and bake since my grandmother put me on her counter while making sugar cookies, and I believe strongly that food is more than what’s on the plate; it crosses cultural barriers, drives our emotions, and colors our memories.
Metrics
Without meaningful measurements of process success, we cannot control our future. That said, information overload isn’t helpful either. It’s all a balancing act, and I can help you wade through the myriad of data — and use it to your advantage.
Life-Long Learning
As the son of two teachers and a knowledge junkie, I constantly learn the latest industry standards and develop methods to implement them.
Equality & Equity
Everyone should have a fair chance to be happy, healthy, and productive. It’s simply part of who being a human is. Anything less is simply intolerable.
My Cat
This task master has taught me discipline, love, how to better care for others, and a lot of patience.
Thank you, buddy.
