For communities to be fully sustainable, businesses need to align themselves with internally
coherent missions that support the local and global community.
A well curated community comes from the active involvement of individuals and businesses
promoting sustainable development for society. I assist entrepreneurs and local businesses
create valuable visions for their communities.

The ease of digital collaboration makes it possible to quickly leverage low cost creative
campaigns that support both business and community.
Simple visual images and more advanced digital media, such as animations and videos, continue conversations online in a unique way.
I provide the tools and techniques for businesses to leverage the visual power of the online experience.

Great cultural shifts involve a synthesis of past forms, a reworking of the social narrative to
move communities into the next phase.
I provide clients with an understanding of culture and the progress of information, a strategic methodology to rework social patterns into new narratives that support business and community growth.

Under many guises, writer, illustrator, communications specialist, I focus on communication that inspires connectivity and cultural relevance with the firm belief that good communication fosters environments where true communities develop naturally. We’re given the responsibility to build a better society; whether you’re a small private company or a global non-
profit, with today’s technology everyone can make a difference.
In the role of Connector for TEDxNaperville I helped coordinate and organize the first TEDx event in the Chicago
suburbs. I also contribute regularly to Planetshifter.com Magazine on issues of sustainability and new mythology,
Alarm Magazine on music and culture, and my own online cultural journal The Eyeless Owl.

Amateur or Auteur, we’ve all got a creative streak. Communication doesn’t just include words and text. Images, sounds and movement are sometimes more expressive and open a deeper dialogue.
In partnership with Planetshifter.com Magazine, I am co-founder of the [ open myth source ] project. We’re
gathering conversations, stories, songs, images and interviews to foster understanding into the meaning, motives
and processes of mythology and storytelling in the 21st century.
Various electronic publications have featured my illustrations, including Planetshifter.com Magazine, The
Absurdist Monthy Review, Down and Dirty Word, Richard Stiennon’s IT security blog ThreatChaos, and my own
electronic effort, The Eyeless Owl. A year long digital art project hosted by The Eyeless Owl has been transmuted
into a collaborative animation featured at select venues in downtown Chicago during the Spring and Fall of 2010.
The Long Now Foundation, founded by computer pioneer Daniel Hillis and Whole Earth founder Stewart Brand,
has been kind enough to host one of my illustrations in their 10,000 year library vault.

As a society we’re seeing drastic changes from emergent technologies, a shifting cultural landscape and a tumultuous political climate. One of the most important things we can do is stay informed. Are you keeping an active eye on the winds of change?
In previous roles I’ve managed successful business intelligence projects analyzing the adoption of advanced
technology within education, healthcare and small to mid-sized businesses; including analysis of the cultural, psychological and social changes that occur during these adoption cycles.
These skills have proven invaluable in creating communications strategies that are both effective and relevant to
long term goals and solutions. Intelligent conversation requires intelligent information, and I’m adept at discovering key points and vital movements to carry a message home.
