I’ve done a number of media related items and they keep adding up! My writing for external media outlets is posted here alongside some organizational work, interviews, and podcasts. Along with my employer, the City of Seguin, TX, I have had the good fortune to do quite a bit of media work on the state and national level in the world of municipal government technology. It is a great honor to bring evolving technology to rural Texas, and for my organization to be recognized for the outstanding work done here!
