I was brought on board to help with the 2009 Nonprofit Technology conference when I returned to Portland after dropping out of a graduate program that wasn't a good fit and came at the wrong time. I ended up at NTEN by accident. NTEN turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you all for being a part of my journey.

This turns out to be #PDX - the airport code.
