About Me: 
I'm the CEO & Senior Internet Strategist at xynoMedia Technology - a nimble firm that helps growing companies become more flexible, competitive, dynamic and productive through the smart use of online technology.

Me, Professionally:
Before I founded xynoMedia, I used to work as a free agent for corporations like Pitney Bowes, MasterCard International, Hyperion Software, etc. So, if you're still in corporate and plotting your escape, please know I feel your pain.

Additionally, I am a guest blogger (every Monday) for the Lipsticking blog, a columnist for Entrepreneur.com, a freelance writer for Jupitermedia, and an InfoWorld and Entrepreneur.com blogger. To toot my horn even further, I'm an award-winning speaker! I'm proud to say I spoke at BlogHer Business 2007!

Me, Personally:
I adore folk art, travel and perform spoken word poetry often. I also have a shoe habit that borders on requiring an intervention. I'm a huge fan of Judge Judy and an admitted HGTV and Discovery Home addict who's scared to paint her living room.

I've been called demanding and no-nonsense (gasp!). My reality is based in a strong spiritual foundation and I believe in open, honest and direct communication and FUN! After all, well-behaved women never make her-story. If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.

I believe that to whom much is given, much is required so, I serve on non-profit Boards and volunteer my time and our company's services generously and will do more in the future.

People always ask me if I ever sleep. Well, if I tell you how I get so much done, I'd have to make concrete shoes for your swimming pleasure but, suffice it to say that I work with a host of coaches, staff, mastermind groups, business systems/processes and friends to develop an environment that is supportive of my goals - at least that's what my wellness coach, Cheryl Miller, would say.

That's enough about me. Back to your regularly scheduled blogram...
