Why would you care who I am? After all, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." You do -- a little -- because as the Internet becomes a real social medium, you (and I) bring our programmed ideas of the world online. One of those ideas is that we need to have a connection to other people, and in the absence of personal contact, a visual (i.e., picture) and descriptive background are the next best thing.

So, a little about me. I'm a guy in the Canadian capital who works as a strategist. I've got a reasonably lengthy education and have been in business on my own, done strategy consulting, and been involved with four start-ups including a dot-com.

A version of my C.V. is attached for those who obsess on detail or are interested in levering my knowledge. And, because my life is not just about business and career, I've also provided a slightly wider personal glimpse. It's supposed to add colour (though my wife doesn't think I'm especially colourful). Finally, you know a person by his links. So I've provided a space for some links and things that are interesting to me and may be interesting to you as well.
