What's in a story?
It’s rare to say you’ve been in an industry since its inception. Working professionally in digital since 1994, and having run old school bulletin boards since 1983, I’ve spent a long time getting to know this industry. An industry that’s experienced incredible evolution–and revolution–is still changing (and in many ways still in its infancy), it's been a long, exciting journey.
