I manage the Toronto WordPress Group and WordCamp Toronto. When I'm not focusing on the community, I'm helping clients at Kobayashi Online, a small-business digital marketing company in Toronto. Outside of work, I enjoy meandering about the city, drinking cappuccinos, reading novels, doodling in a sketchbook, and thinking up new pet projects.
