"The obstacle is the way (or, The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.)" - Marcus AureliusI’m a creative technologist with 15 years experience working in digital media as a developer, leader, innovator, trainer and mentor. I help business managers execute high-level digital strategies, either alone, as part of a studio or leading my own team. Over time I have become the bridge between the direction of digital strategy and marketing managers, and the coal-face executors of code deployed for their audience. I understand and translate commercial goals from managers and sales personnel into the digital products.My mission is to inspire people to dream and imagine, educate people and help them to aim higher.
