Why blog?

I have always been fortunate to have an outlet to share my views online through my various lines of work. However, both inside and outside of work, I witness so many interesting stories that pass untold. Until now.

I have wanted to write a blog for a while, but never found the time to start one. Thanks to the motivating words of Chris Brogan and Julien Smith in the book Trust Agents I finally decided to take the plunge and try my hand at blogging.

My goal is simple: Share stories about people, places and things and offer up my lessons learned from each scenario. Sometimes I will focus on other people while at times I will focus on lessons learned from my daily routine as an MBA student and as the Manager, Digital Media for the Canadian Football League where I engage thousands of fans on a daily basis through multiple platforms.

One of my favourite people on Twitter @clickflickca is always asking the world to I.C.E. – interact, communicate and engage. I hope to bring some of his principles to this blog and invite each and every reader to interact, communicate and engage. Hopefully, we can make a difference from the lessons learned here, somewhere, somehow.

If we have not met before, I would invite you to read the ‘About’ section of the blog to learn more about my background as that will play an important role in what I will have to say.
