Where to begin with this bio—My enthusiasm for LEGO kits? The collection of semi-complete art projects stacked in my office? Or how about my love of all things Harry Potter? Well, in a nutshell, that's me.

My ultimate goal? Produce quality content (for the profession supporting us all) that does more than inform—it entertains.
