Mashable, reporter online of just about everything to do with social media, recently coordinated the first annual “Social Media Day” on June 30. Excited about this event as we do so much with these communication tools, PTE participated and helped spread the word.

As a result, The News-Press was interested in the topic and came out to cover the event, held at Firepit City Grill in Gulf Coast Town Center. Plus, a number of us were included in the article published in today’s paper. Check it out in the business section or online.

Don’t forget – if you’re social too – we’re on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin & FourSquare. Talk to you soon!

Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places. Recently I had the pleasure of joining The News-Press editorial board on a private tour of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates. As a citizen member of the board, this was a real treat because we got to see some things the general public doesn’t – I even got to walk in the houses!

What’s more, is we were told all the incredible labors of love and work that have been going on over the past 9 years on the sites. $12 million and thousands of work hours later, the homes are in excellent condition and the staff is working to make both sites a place of learning and growth, just as both men had originally planned them to be.

So, what can we take away from this? I left inspired by the horticulture and beauty of the Estates as well as the sheer genius that once lived and walked those same grounds.

Enjoy some of the photos I took and may they inspire you to do great things.

I am very excited to announce that I’ve been chosen to be a part of The News-Press’ Citizen Editorial Board. Together with former WCI CEO and Ambassador to Portugal Al Hoffman, and Lee County Juvenile & Family Dependency Drug Court & PACE Center member, Dena Geraghty I will serve from July to December 2009.

It’s an honor to work with the paper and these professionals in this capacity and I’m really looking forward to it. Check out more information on their Website here: http://www.news-press.com/article/20090705/OPINION/90704024/1015
