About Me

So, I keep myself pretty busy every week working hard promoting (i.e. Marketing and Sales) the City of Burlington's FIoS project. It's not only a great job, but fun and challenging as well!
I also spend a great deal of time promoting community through weekly events based around Wizkids Games brands. Heroclix, Pirates, we do it all at our local venue Quarterstaff Games!
My latest endeavors involve getting pen to paper again and working on my art after several years. I hope to one day share my craziness and imagination (sometimes the same thing) with you all!
In short;
"I keep it rockin' in the Free World."
