I thought it would be helpful to do a review of 2010 and year-to-date in 2011.

The following is a list of influences on my entrepreneurial and venture investing that caused what I would call a tectonic shift in my thinking:

No, we don't need another blog.  However, I have thought about blogging for some time.  I thought I would give it a try.  I am fairly active in the venture ecosystem of Utah and with the following associations I felt I might have something to contribute:

• Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah) teacher of entrepreneurship and venture finance
  
• Associate Director of the Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology at BYU
  
• Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner of BoomStartup
• Founder of the Utah Student 25

I hope that this blog becomes a way for me to more effectively communicate with those I associate with and help in the ecosystem.  I also hope that folks won't be too critical if I misstep a time or two.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
