DESCRIPTION

I was honored to present at TEDx Huntsville on Sept 7, 2014. I presented the case of the cultural renaissance that is brewing in our city which comes from the intersection of our decades long inbound migration of people with advanced degrees and our millenial generation children. You can see me at 1:03 on session II here http://new.livestream.com/tedx/events/3357284
