Originally from Portland Maine, I lived in the Pacific Northwest for about eight years before moving to California. After thoroughly exploring the U.S. and Europe, I've found that life on the west coast allows me to balance my interests with city living and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. When I'm not helping people on the web, you can find me outside with my dog, catching live music and microbrews at a local pub, or off on an adventure! I'm happy to help with social networking strategies or blogging questions. I have a background in customer service and community development as well as an education in web design and new media.
