Over the past three years or so I've been working independently while traveling broadly.  The experience has been a dream come true in many ways and has presented challenges in others.

I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity I've had to see some truly fantastic places around the world while maintaining enough income to fund my adventures.  On the other hand, keeping up can get tricky when your flight is delayed several hours and you're stuck 5 timezones away for a Skype meeting the next morning.  Of course, there is then the accounting and taxes, account and project management, pitches and sales efforts—all for which I have been solely responsible.

Difficulties aside, the primary reason I've decided to change my work situation is not due to management struggles but rather a desire to once again learn from and to teach others.  I've found the absence of a work environment in which I am able to actively exchange and connect with like-minded individuals has curtailed the expansion of my creative talent.

I am now actively seeking employment in a location where I will gain exposure to new ideas, concepts and technologies that once came with working in close proximity to my colleagues. Please view and download my resume where you'll find I've managed to build out a large skill set over the past twelve years.
