I am very passionate about Information Technology and how technology can be enhanced to suit and assist the way human beings live there lives. My passion and experience in the Information Technology Industry has lead me to talking to High School and University students, technologists, developers, business managers, governemnt, CEO's, designers, entertainers, educators, lawyers, or as I like to say "all walks of life"… I enjoy being part of the larger Information Technology Industry and believe in giving back and supporting the industry and Open Source community projects, and the main way I give back is through advocacy and education.
