PacWest Storyteller and Skater. My passion for the two has been a constant thread throughout my life. For years, I've used storytelling in the world of technology, while nurturing my inner nerd, finding solace in boarding, books, manga, and video games.

Over the span of two decades, I've penned technical books, developed exams, and created training materials for giant tech firms. From speaking and training people in large groups at conferences all the way to intimate gatherings, I have shared knowledge and inspiration, bridging the gaps between complexity and understanding. 

 Yet, there came a pivotal moment when I chose a different path. I left behind a successful consulting company to spend time writing and finding my authentic voice. My first book (of many) "Dealings of Shadow and Light" is not only a narrative; it's a journey of self-discovery. As I write, I hope to unlock more hidden aspects of myself, to delve into memories and experiences that have shaped who I am. And in sharing my story, I hope it resonates with others, inspiring them to embark on their own introspective journeys.
