Hello and welcome to my personal site. I have generated this website so that I have a place to present myself along with interesting ideas and concepts. My hopes is that this site can be used as a platform to present ideas, as a motivational basis to continually develop presentation skills with a growing portfolio, and to show more than just a curriculum vitae.
Please feel free to navigate the site, read any content of interest to yourself, and to reach out through Disqus or email - adrian.k.ball85@gmail.com
