Here's a little story:
Back in college I made-up business cards with the title: General Specialist... A mildly hilarious, if not mpressively oximoronic, coinage! I've long since made use of this title as it seemed somewhat amateurish... But now-a-days, I've come to understand the deeper relevance of this phrase. The world has enough specialists already...This is why I choose to stay diversified and build upon an ever-changing skill set that includes a healthy dose of professional copywriting, journalism, film and video production, carpentry and not least of which, schmoozing.
Outside of my disparate creative pursuits, I am now the proud owner and director of Think Tank CoWorking... Wherein I surround myself with some of Portland's best and brightest, while steadily appropriating by osmosis their best collective ideas!
Come see what we're doing here. Think Tank is fast becoming a central node for many of the big ideas helping to shape this brilliant little city.
Why did you choose Portland? That's right. I CHOSE Portland. I could have lived anywhere. 3 years ago I was footloose and fancy free! This little gem by the sea called to me. It's brimming with some of the most collaborative and energetic people I've ever met. There is a collective zeitgeist here... It's as though everyone has this fanciful idea that if we engage with this place and its people, we can become stewards of the city. We can shape the future of this place and make it a shining example of what motivated, conscientious communities can achieve. ...Oh, and there's this beautiful bay to look at EVERY DAY! ... Right, I should say something about the food... Actually, forget the food. There's fountains of beer and coffee at every corner... almost literally.
