- Bio
I'm a User Experience guy by trade, a Web Developer and Adjunct Professor by title, a Problem Solver by definition, and the one who bridges the gaps between them all by choice. I firmly believe that labels and taxonomies are for concepts and not people, that we should spend more time asking difficult questions like "why" and "how," and that green tea is quite possibly the most glorious substance known to man.
Anything I say or do - clever, insightful, opinionated or otherwise - that's all me. The same thoughts and opinions are not necessarily shared by any of my clients or employers, be they past, present or from the future (bonus points for showing up in a DeLorean).
