Quick Access: My LinkedIndex

Greetings, my friend. I hope you're well. Thanks for stopping by! Please, come right in. I have no idea how or why you've gotten here, but you did. If you gotta go, I understand.

However, in case you're interested in getting to know me, even just from afar, and/or exploring what kind of opportunity we can create together, I'd like to make that easy on us. I'm always up for doing my part!

So, this publishing is an Index of my LinkedIn, and is a living thing.

For now, my intent is to index links to my articles, videos, meaningful original posts, and perhaps even some comments of mine related to the works of others as well.

This way, you can get a sense of "my brand" on LinkedIn straight from here without having to fuss with combing thru history. Let's focus on the future together, where the best of all our days can be yet to come.

**** UPDATE: I've stopped publishing articles native to LinkedIn and have now stood up my own site https://www.thefullspectrum.online for writing articles.

I decided to leave this up on LinkedIn as a cool example (I think) of something you can put on your profile... however, I stopped updating it not long after publishing this and have no further intention of maintaining it.

?It's not up to date, but check it out if you like though!

April 8, 2019: From a Veteran to Tech: How ARFORGEN Relates to Startups and Organizational Transformations
