Elliott is addicted to social technology and new media. He jumped into social technology when he was finishing his MBA and MSL. He realized the potential in social technology while studying virtual leadership, innovation, and group dynamics—seeing that these new technologies are fostering the human element on the Web. Since then, he has gained experience in the industry as a social marketing strategist for a wide range of content for companies like Microsoft and Intel. Most recently, he spent time in Honduras working with the people, helping in children’s homes and feeding kitchens, and teaching new self-sustaining practices. During his trip, Elliott funneled all of the interaction through social networking platforms to bring awareness to the general public about the harsh realities that the people face there. It's not all work: Elliott loves to experiment and try new things, which has lead him to start his own social networks, podcasts, blogs, and video and audio productions. Most of these experiements in social technology and new media stem from his love of music, backpacking, rock climbing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, running, triathalons, and family and friends.

I have my Masters in Digital Media from the Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver BC. This program is a result of joint collaboration between University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr Institute and private industry sponsors. I AM A SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICT I am passionate about the internet and the possibilities it offers to change the world. I have a strong focus on online communities I am fascinated with the future of these communities and have studied in depth how they will be used around the world . I am convinced that they will change the way the human race communicates, learns and interacts. I am also passionate about media sharing - online or through mobile usage. I feel in the next few years that online mobile usage will increase by leaps and bounds and that for many people their mobile phone will actually be their first @DigiTalkVan
