Welcome to my new web site. Over the past 3 years, I have dedicated myself to using media to develop educational and economic infrastructure for all parts of the community. That process has manifested in me founding the Media Communications Council, a social learning portal for youth entitled Media Xperiments, the intensive mentoring and college readiness program It Could Be U (for which I’m partnering with the University of Texas’ Intellectual Entrepreneurship Initiative) and an upcoming for profit venture in which I liken myself to becoming the “Ray Kroc of Media” – training/paying students to create media for small businesses and non-profits.

I started documenting this journey via my blog a little over 2  years ago using the free service Posterous. Blogging was a revelation for me because up until then I had been a Flash developer for 15 years and a straight up web snob. I used to think blogging was for those who didn’t have the chops for “real media making”. That was then…. Now, with close to 300 posts featuring the people I meet, stuff I peruse on the web, my personal journey to get in shape and the occasional indignant rant about the state of education in America, I thought it time to step things up a notch. Leveraging the WordPress platform, I’ve curated over a year of content thus far making it more accessible. Videos, Milestones, Podcasts of my talks and interviews. It’s all here… well, accept for my musical past. But hey, my musical comeback isn’t set to start until 2020. So, there’s plenty of time for that stuff too.
