I never know what to write on these types of pages. I hope my work gives people an idea of who I am without me writing some boring bio page. Nonetheless:

For work I’ve pursued the web since college – rather, the only job out of college I could get was coding HTML for a now-defunct internet consulting firm – so it stuck. I enjoyed it for a few years until my Renaissance Soul/Scanner nature reared its head and I got bored.

Since I left the last job I had, I’ve been exploring ways to incorporate the things I really love to do, that I’m really good at, and that I’m meant to do into a viable business.

I recently re-launched The Alternating Current, which takes all of the things I love doing together into one thing. It’s expansive, fun and totally what I’m meant to do right now. I’m creating tools and resources and offering consulting to Creative Explorers (aka scanners/renaissance souls) to help them get their creative genius out into the world. It’s been called “anti-productivity”. I hate the word productivity in all its forms, so I guess it fits.

Also, I’ve been teaching visual journaling and bookbinding to groups in the Southeast. My first big event was a retreat in the NC mountains, and more are on the way (September 2011, NC Black Mountains, The Gathering of Artisans)!

I play the bass guitar, I write, read a lot, I use glue, paper, paints & other stuff to make new things more commonly known as art, I think way too much and occasionally do what I’m thinking (much to the dismay of some). I work, I spend time with friends, my art supplies or relax on my big comfy couch with a good book.

I’m what they call a “renaissance soul” or “scanner”—terms used to describe a breed of folk  who can’t fathom life stuck in one career because everything else is so much fun. So  I’m trying to incorporate all my loves into a cohesive life which also has its challenges. Barbara Sher and Margaret Lobenstine (among others) are a couple authors I admire & who have opened my eyes to the possibilities.

It’s messy and confusing and wild and fun. I wouldn’t want to be any other way.
