Obviously I’m a bit of a TED enthusiast, just by the reading of the title of the blog. TEDxTwinFalls took place a little more than a month ago, back in mid-April. But it wasn’t until today that I found this really cool display of TEDx letters from their event! The big red letters are a …

The Third Wave. A Book Review.
A few weeks ago, I was at a local mall just engaging in some retail therapy. Average stuff. I cut through the Barnes & Noble to use their elevator and get to the next floor of the mall. As I walked through, I was stopped dead in my tracks. I saw a sign for an …
President Obama at SXSW.
A few years ago, I began to hear rumblings about this event, that folks called “South by Southwest.” One of my favorite college professors and a few other up an coming entrepreneurial-minded folks in my tribe attended the event and spoke highly about it.

My favorite content in this article can definitely be found under the …
Fingers crossed: SXSWEco.
This post is mostly just a “thank you” along with a little look behind-the-scenes… Last week, I submitted a proposal for a conference called SXSWEco. More on the conference itself, later, if I can convince you to read as far. :) I posted the proposal on my social media accounts, and encouraged friends and family …
Honored to be appointed by Virginia Governor McAuliffe.
I never thought I’d be able to say that I was an appointee to a gubernatorial administration. Even more importantly, I never thought I’d be able to say that I am a gubernatorial appointee working toward quelling his own hangups and admitted anxiety about working with others with disabilities. But here I am. Last summer …
