      Summary of expertise:
      Todd started out as a technologist, working on some great projects in the early days of the Web, including one of the first "virtual university" projects, as well as early Web interfaces for a couple popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms.

      But in his heart, he knew he was a communicator. So he slowly ingratiated himself with his marketing teams and made his way to the dark side: PR. He's led regional, national and global public relations teams in the telecommunications, CAD/CAM, networking and Web spaces with great results. Along the way, his technology background ensured that he was an early social media and Web 2.0 adopter -- launching his first blog in 2004.

      Oh, and it's a binary clock if you're curious, but if you ask him about it, he'll try to tell you how to read it, so tread cautiously.
