I am a data geek and adventurer.
By day, I operate Longs Peak Analytics, a full-service data analytics and technology advisory firm. We are small, with a focus on healthcare and data visualizations.
Other interests include cycling, snowboarding, climbing (making my home a perfect fit), geography, electronic music, and the digital life in all its forms. I'm also interested in CrossFit and the Paleo Diet.
Take a look around, and thanks for visiting.

Summary
My areas of focus are informatics, analytics ("marketing science"), and online innovation, particularly connected to healthcare/patient care.
I have teaching and coaching experience in addition to spending time and energy in corporate, not-for-profit, and academic settings.
I also specialize in information design and user-interface development for online experiences, and have a background in website construction.
As a consultant, I am available for projects of varying scope, and can bring a team together to achieve results.

I think as per usual Rachel Maddow is nailing it re #iacaucus. Everyone is counting out Ron Paul at their peril. All in field have flaws.

I wake up at the same exact time every single day, feeling very refreshed, regardless of the amount of sleep I got the night before. Crazy right?
About six years back, I used to be the absolute worst in the mornings. I’d get pissed at the fact that my snooze would simply stop working after…
In a oft-overlooked part of Longmont (some call it midtown) on Francis St, just north of 9th, sits a smattering of local businesses. One of these is Ziggi’s Francis, which replaced my beloved Buzz Coffee earlier this year. (I have no idea what happened to Buzz, but it was one of my favorites. A barista at a competing shop in Longmont gave me the scoop. Until verified, you can ping me to find out.)
Ziggi’s is a “get it done” kind of place; it feels like an extension of your home office, with the lively addition of other people, and someone else does the dishes. A large, windowed retractable “garage” door sits at the front of the place, making for the geek’s perfect refuge - the warm air of a sunny summer day but an ability to still see one’s screen. There’s some traffic but it isn’t exceedingly loud; the music is at a volume at which business calls are possible. Wifi is unlimited and strong.
The coffee is strong. Their iced is hot-brewed, and then iced. Preferring toddy to hot brewing, I opt for Americanos. The Breggo, a Boulder mainstay, is available, but microwaved. The cinnamon chip scone was a bit on the chewy side and Saran-wrapped.
The verdict: great working space, the light and energy is terrific. Reasonably okay wifi. Avoid the food.
The photo is actually of their Main Street location, not Francis. I’ll need to return for a snap.
I tried this once before (whoops!) It turns out that Boulder (and its neighbors) are perfect for many things, and coffeeshop exploration ranks high on the list. We’re 10 square miles surrounded by reality and drenched in java. It’s terrific, really. My goal is a brief post from each of these places. (They will neither be reviewed sequentially, nor in consecutive days.)
