Hi! I’m from the Internet.
@ Work
I’m the Digital Services Manager for a public library in Northern Kentucky. I’m responsible for all things digital including the library’s digital branch, online events, and social media. My areas of expertise include web development, social media, open source software, mobile computing, and speaking about technology.
I previously spent eleven years as the Technology Coordinator & Assistant Director for SWON Libraries, a non-profit in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky that supports libraries in providing excellent services. I provided technology consultation, technology training, and facilitated shared projects among libraries of all types and sizes. Before that I worked for the Library Computing Services Department at Wright State University.
@ Home
I live in Cincinnati with my wife, two kids, and two hungry cats. I am very much a geek, but am often mis-labeled a dork. I try to spend my free time enjoying music and exploring new technology, but I usually just get suckered into playing with my kids.
