Welcome to my new personal site. The move from a website to blog software has been a long time coming. All the top nav bar links are current and I’m excited to move forward building out Travel + Twitter related content on this space. You might’ve already noticed that the home page is Twitter heavy. That’s on purpose.

I’ve been on Twitter since 2007 and even twittered my wedding and the birth of my first child. Since Travel is my game, I’m going to start writing posts that welcome newcomers from the travel world to Twitter. Airlines, hotels, CVBs, small businesses, travel journalists and round the world travelers alike are all using this addictive microblogging tool to tell their tale, network within the community and improve their business. I want to point to all the good work that’s taking place in the travel twittersphere and I’m looking forward to the community using the work to come as a resource for their own growth.

So welcome. There’s lots more to come - and soon!
