Someone asked me recently, why do I love what I do? The short answer is that I love helping clients share the stories that are shaping history - and in the process I'm constantly learning new ideas and perspectives. One example is the smart grid, which I have had the opportunity to explore by working with Sensus, a global smart grid technology company.
