Personal web pages, blogs, and Twitter streams are all about one thing: marketing. I’m not ashamed to be contributing to the web with the goal of self-promotion in mind. I learned from a good friend of mine from business school the importance of personal branding. He got me into social media a little over a year ago, and I finally get it. Now, I’m on FaceBook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and I’m replacing my stale, old personal website with a WordPress blog. It’s about time.

I’m a consultant who works in the insurance indusry in the regulatory capacity. This blog, along with my microblog (which cross-posts to Twitter), are public broadcasting, so please understand that I will remain vague about anything sensitive to my company or clients. I will, however, write about some of the tasks that I’m doing, the software that I am using, and  various aspects of my life.
