This past week I had the opportunity to travel to a place I had never been before, Des Moines, Iowa to attend the Thinc Iowa 2012 conference put on by my new friends at Silicon Prairie News. My trek to Des Moines began with a few goals and ended with more positive surprises. The bottom line is that if you've never been to Thinc Iowa, you should definitely check it out next year.

I’m an aspiring triathlete, entrepreneur, and passionate human. I've spent the past couple of years of my life rebounding from a half-decade in the corporate world while consulting others on launching things via Zero Confines and co-founding/launching a few ventures as well (CoWork Jax, One Spark). While I spent some time blogging about my triathlon trials and tribulations at tristarter.tumblr.com I haven't yet put fingers to keyboard for my own personal blog.
