As noted on the home page, I am currently pursuing my PhD in Advertising at UT Austin while also working with my brother, Ben, at Seedling Online. I moved to Austin, Texas in the Fall of 1995 and have either been attending school at the University of Texas or working in the interactive advertising industry (or both) ever since. This year will mark the end of my education at UT and I have yet to determine exactly what the coming years will bring. Whatever it is, I know it will be fun and interesting!
