New Media Producer

I am a New Media producer and blogger. I produce the Reaching for Lucidity series of podcasts, and the companion blog, for Podshow Inc.
Reaching for Lucidity Productions was started in early 2005, growing out of the former Eban Crawford Studios, which was my online art business. I was signed to contract with Podshow Inc. in early 2006.
When not dealing with the Web 2.0 world, I enjoy reading, cooking, and working out. My wife and I are avid travelers and have lived in several states as well as England and Germany.
I Married my high school sweetheart, Faith, in 1989 and we currently live with our Beagle/Shepherd mix Elway in Raleigh North Carolina.
