TechLife Community Builder - Dan Harris
Over the last few months the TechLife meetup community has grown to over 800 members and 75 events. I've been told that the difference is palpable and there is a sense of excitement and collaboration in our technology community that we've never seen.
The movement you feel is due to a large degree to those who have freely given of their time and sometimes money to organize events, connect people, cultivate creative business building ideas, and model the collaborative, creative, entrepreneurial spirit so important to the sustained health and vitality of Columbus. I call those people " TechLife Community Builders" . They are the unsung heros in our community. In the upcoming weeks you're going to see their profiles. Please thank them for all they're doing.

PASSION:
I’m An Idea Guy That Loves Social Media and Helping Others.
I always have been. Creativity, ideas and dreams keep me up at night. My family, friends and co-workers and people I help count on me for ideas, recommendations and creative inspiration. Helping others includes the central Ohio small business community, small business owners, students and our fast growing technology community. My biggest passion other than my family at this moment is social media and networking. I blog on my passion at http://www.DanOnIt.com, create and run Tweetups in Central Ohio, and I'm building a social media group called TasteCasting which will launch in March. I love technology, the people involved are brilliant and wired for success. I'm amazed at what social media, social networking and technology enables everyone to do, and to become.
