When I first heard of Sebastopol Entrepreneurs Project and the coworking space when it opened, I was very excited. In the 16 years I've worked in the web/tech industry, I've spent a lot of time freelancing from a home office. Being at SEP for the last 1 1/2 years has been a tremendous opportunity. I've met many fantastic people and received helpful and encouraging advice for my own ventures. Plus I love having a place to "hang my hat" where I feel productive and successful.

I am a website/app consultant and host a weekly podcast called the North Bay Startup Show (http://northbaystartup.com). I am also cofounder of a self-serve, magazine-inspired web publishing platform, Mariposta (https://www.mariposta.com). In my spare time, I like to blog about a variety of topics and write music for relaxation and meditation at JaredWhite.com (http://jaredwhite.com).
