After publishing content sites for a few years I have found that writing about issues that relate to my profession has become a new avenue for my talents. Magazines and book publishers have approached me about putting my thoughts and observations to paper.

With all this interest in skills that I didn't know I had (me, a writer?) I have found that writing and speaking come naturally to me. Below you will find a list of links to essays, articles and how-to's I have written, and upcoming events that I will be speaking at.
