Your organization has a lot to get done. You’re increasingly being asked to do more with less, and keep up with an explosion of information.
Just when it felt like you’d figured out this stretch of road, the 21st Century leaned over and stomped on the accelerator.
We’re here to help.

A Brief History…
I’ve been lucky enough in my work to meet a lot of people around the country, doing great work in mission-driven fields. These tend to be public sector and non-profit organizations, and they’re very smart people with a ton of experience in their field.
I also have a fascination (obsession) with emerging tech trends – especially tools that help me do my job. Better ways to communicate, gather, analyze and display data, collaborate long-distance and get work done from anywhere. There’s this world where the future is happening now, and people are moving mountains with a handful of free tools.
But these two sectors…might as well be two different planets. There are thousands of tools and resources, incredible innovation in getting things done, rapid evolution on spreading your message (marketing)…yet very few people seem to have heard of them outside the tech sector.
I find myself with a foot in both worlds, continually shuttling information and ideas from the tech planet to the ‘organization’ planet. In countless committees and meetings I’ve raised my hand and suggested, “I think there’s an easier way to do this…” Colleagues pull me aside at conferences, “Can you tell me more about that thing you mentioned..?” Or asked me to mentor them in learning about and adopting emerging tools. I’ve volunteered to help some of my favorite organizations through this stuff, but as life gets busier and money becomes scarcer (did I mention I have children?
, it occurs to me that I should probably start putting my passion to work…
So I’ve set up this little hut on the internet, and am stringing rope through my sign so I can hang it out front. If you’re interested in learning more about tools, services, and best practices that can really elevate your good work, then drop me a line. You’ll find numerous ways to contact me on the sidebar. If you enjoy the posts here, please leave a comment or two! I look forward to the conversation.
