NEWS: While my company still focuses on Office productivity, design, and development (read below), we're also in the process of releasing a web application aimed at helping people solve the problem of too much email--find out more at www.awayfind.com. It will come out of private beta by mid 2008. And now back to the profile:
Entrepreneur, speaker, and productivity expert with a penchant for finding the most practical ways that everyday technology can be used. My company (SET Consulting) provides efficiency training, functional design, and software development services on the Microsoft Office platform--with the goal of helping organizations to work more effectively and look more professional in applications like Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
Many of our clients are law firms, government agencies, and design firms...though any business that uses Microsoft Office is a candidate. The more they use Office, the more time we could help them to save.
One of our most popular applications of late has been the automation and redesign of proposal and RFP processes. Though I focus on business development, speaking, and product development, my coworkers are software developers (think add-ins for Office) and graphic designers (making Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint templates look good, etc.).
On LinkedIn I'm looking to meet others who are passionate about using technology effectively, be it web or Microsoft related. I'm very active in the DC and Baltimore business & technology communities and would enjoy the opportunity to facilitate connecting good people.

AwayFind.com is a way to escape from email--so that when you're not checking it you can be confident that you're notified of emergencies or that someone else is aware of them.
I've helped to put AwayFind on the map through social media and building relationships with awesome people who are now using and championing it.
I also conceived of the product, managed its development, and handled much of its user experience design. In other words, this is my baby--and I hope it changes the world.
