I am an active freelance evangelist and a founder of FreelanceCamp. Along with speaking at conferences (SXSW, Future of Work, eBay), I love to write and have published numerous articles (Mashable, CopyBlogger, A List Apart, FreelanceSwitch).
When I'm not working I'm heavily involved in social good projects, focusing on helping local government run efficiently and transparently with financial responsibility. And when I sneak away, I surf some of the best waves in the world courtesy of living in Santa Cruz, CA and cuddle my lovely wife & daughter.

Sponsored by the Tribe
Thanks Reid for being so awesome. Just got my sponsored bike jersey, with plenty of time to break it in before my first sprint tri. Good colors too. Modern Tribe for the win!

Eating to Win
Attended an interesting nutrition clinic for triathletes last night. The huge takeaways: * Eat balanced and more (good) fats and carbs than most people. * Be aware that fat / car / protein / mineral ratios and how they change based upon race season * Food / liquids during race has a lot to do with what tastes ok and won’t make you shit your pants.

Arial Ballet
Doing prep for the NEXTies, an award ceremony put on by a non profit on whose board I sit. The event was gorgeous. Caught the Arial dancers practicing for the event as I was painting and carrying props. Simply gorgeous. Sent from my iPhone

Xmas morning surf
Now this is a tradition I intend to honor. Got up at 6:20, still dark, still icy. Kris and I jaunted over to pleasure point in time for dawn to break, for me to suit up and enjoy shoulder / head high pleasures with only one other person. Eventually as the sun came it got really crowded with 4 of us out. Guess everyone has to open presents before surfing. What odd priorities. I’ll take …

Having her turn to me and ask “Daddy, my nails are too long, can you cut them?” while I can hear “huggey” (that is what sassy calls him), reid’s baby, screaming incoherently over FaceTime left no doubt. She can truly communicate her needs. The days of frustration driven communication tantrums are gone. Now it is a …

o tannenbaum
Julie is a masterful christmas tree decorator. While I’ll admit that I may not be the most joyful of the holiday rebel-rousers (bah-humbug), there is something truly magical about a fresh cut tree that we cultivated ourselves. The smell is nice, the lights are pretty and my wife is so happy.

Release: The Events Calendar 2.0.2
Happy Holidays!! It has been a busy month at modern tribe events HQ. Eventbrite tickets is in beta and community events is making great headway. Events 2.0.2 is now live and work on 2.1 had begun!

Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air and say Yipee, Yipee Yeah. Big slide at blue ball park conquered. Yes the name is terrible. =)
