Hi everyone, this is my obligatory 'hello world' post for my first blog.  I wanted to give some background on myself and some insight into the types of things I'm looking forward to writing about. 

I work in the Washington, D.C. metro area for a trade show exhibit design, fabrication, and consulting company. While we work with companies small and large, being in the D.C. area means that many of our clients are massive government and defense contractors.  Their needs exceed just simple exhibit design services; for them we provide the full-gamut of trade show offerings.  From exhibit storage to international shipping, set-up, tear-downs, online exhibit management and scheduling and more  - working for these large companies is a great experience because there is exposure to so many different aspects of the trade show world.

Outside of my trade show work, I'm a big time tech nerd.  I love new technology, these new communication platforms that are popping up online, and collaboration tools.  I love the latest and greatest cell phones, 3D TVs, and other bleeding edge consumer technologies.

In this blog I plan on writing about my trade show experience and offer up interesting stories, tips, and tricks.  And, when it works, I'm interested in also writing about the techie stuff and how they are changing and progressing this trade show industry along.  I'm looking forward to blogging and sharing my experiences with all of you!
