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.

As one of our longest clients recently told me, “I am buying peace of mind. I could give …

The quiver’s new home
Venture and I spent the weekend working hard (or was it hardly working) and finally achieved nirvana. 3 long boards and a sup in wall mounted racks, 2 shortboards, a fish and a gun in a standup hand made rack and two disabled handrails mounted to the cieling for wetsuits and rashguards. Only remaining challenge is where to put my other giant board bags. 2 car garage for the win!! Sent from my iPhone
