Evan

I recently joined Textopoly as an Account Coordinator who does a lot of the web work - I built this blog for example. Besides living in Japan for 3 years teaching English and working on a novel, I've spent 4 years working in the Technology industry. I've sold tech, built tech, and did public relations for tech. I'm a well rounded techie and a geek at the end of the day. Feel free to email me at evan [at] textopoly [dot] com.
