Current Work:
At Stroud, my clients have included Fortune 250 and Global 250 companies throughout North America. I travel weekly to the client's site to help senior clients solve massively valuable challenges thought impossible by the organization. My work currently takes me to northern Alberta in the
oil sands. The work is incredible and yes, we are hiring.
Former work:
I've worked summers or full time for over ten years, in a fascinating variety of fields, including: landscaping, catering, farming, recreational boating, caddying, investing, academic research, industrial research, marketing research, software development, teaching English, global conflict resolution, fledging tech startups, and, of course, operations consulting.
The Future:
In the long-term, I intend to become involved in politics, though it's a bit unclear where and how.
Interests:
I spend a great deal of time brewing beer and mead under the Vulgar Unicorn Brewery, a homebrewer co-op I founded with partner
Jim Waldrop. These occasionally do well in homebrewer contests; my best so far has likely been the "Gourd Lord" Pumpkin Ale, brewed with Jim.
I get involved with
Live Action Roleplaying (LARPing), strategy games, and the
Society for Creative Anachronism when I have time.
I recently acquired a
1979 Suzuki GS750L, which is in much better shape than I am despite having 9 years on me.
I'm an armchair economist and political philospher, a civil libertarian, foreign policy blogger, amateur engineer and tinkerer, sometimes-poet,
I cook whenever I can, sometimes
experimentally
