"A will finds a way!"


Outside of my business career as Manager of Administration at Advanced Adhesive Systems, Inc., I enjoy a widely varied assortment of pursuits and activities. As a volunteer member of WWUH Radio 91.3 FM, a public alternative radio station operated as a community service by the University of Hartford, I serve as a classical music producer and announcer. I'm also active in a number of civic organizations, including the World Affairs Council, Harvard Club of Northern Connecticut, and MIT Enterprise Forum.

Among my primary interests is the evolving impact of Web 2.0 — the changing ways in which software developers and end-users use the web as a platform — more particularly in seeking ways to exploit such features in developing and transacting business internationally. It is also this interest in Web 2.0 that brings me to Bebo and the opportunities this platform offers to meet and network with a diverse range of interesting people from around the world.
