Entrepreneur, speaker, and community evangelist with a penchant for finding the most practical applications of everyday technology. I have significant experience in enterprise technologies, web 2.0, social media, and technology business consulting.
While SET Consulting continues to serve clients like NTT/DoCoMo, NIST, HP, and the like, my focus is now on improving and spreading the word about AwayFind, our web application that helps people to escape from email.
You can learn much more at http://technotheory.com, where I blog about productivity and balance.
(And the rest of the time you'll finding me shooting photos, swing dancing, and perhaps somewhere in Spain.)

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.
Update! Since launching on Nov 13,2008, we've been featured in Lifehacker, ReadWriteWeb, NPR, and over 60 other media outlets: http://www.awayfind.com/news.html.

SET Consulting helps businesses to save time and look more professional in Microsoft Office. Our goal is to save organizations 30 minutes per more per employee in Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
We've been doing this for almost seven years and have well over 400 clients.
Our most popular niches:
* We partner with design firms to design PowerPoint presentations, Excel projections, and Word reports for their clients. We've done these reports for many household-name clients. You may have seen our work on the Four Hour Workweek Dreamline spreadsheet, as well.
* We work with the US government on large documentation projects (designing templates, automating processes, and/or providing training). Some examples include NIST's voting machine standards and the reports delivered to Congress
* We work with law firms and associations as they're about to upgrade to Office 2007, providing both consulting and training related to the migration.
