About: Hmmmm....I'm a big talker with a ton of ideas and I love hearing what others have to say. Even better I like taking ideas and discovering how to make them work in reality. I am a creative thinker (I think that is required in order to be a resident of SL!) Plus I like challenges! :)

I am a project manager for Public Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. I cover everything from exploring and using new technologies to writing policies on their use (wikis, blogs, social networking, mobile and virtual worlds to name a few!).

I am interested in meeting people with ideas on how to help us better engage foreign audiences world-wide through the use of technology. If you let me pick your brain I'd be happy to tell you all the things we have explored that you would not expect from your government. Check out our pictures on Flickr - search on Virtual Vibe Jazz Festival.

Title IT Project Manager
What's on your radar general trends of the future, maintaining the line between sharing and privacy, social networking as a global tool for engagement, mobile and use of mobile technologies to engage people globally though multiple languages, virtual worlds, and game development
What question would you most like others to ask you? How is Public Diplomacy using virtual worlds?
What topics would you like to see covered at Web2Open Definitely something about online privacy and education to youth about how to successfully interact online especially in social networks.

Ranger Craig:

I'd like to meetup with you (and any other feds) at Web 2.0 to talk shop (i.e. how we in the government can/should use social web tools). Would you be interested? Hmm, wonder how best to organize something like this...

BTW, I'll only be there Wed and Thr. Have to return to The Rock to "finish my sentence" on Friday.
