Personal Philosophy: do as much as you can and some things will get done. And never regret an outcome as long as you know you tried.

Homepage The following highlight my current work, which is essentially working on the horse slaughter issue while galloping horses at various racetracks in North America. I am currently at Woodbine, ON Canada.

Alex Brown Exercise Rider and Horse Welfare Advocate: Blood Horse's Talkin' Horses
A Texas Sojourn: Texas Horse Talk, covers my winter in Texas (2007-8)
Sensible debate over unwanted horses would help anti-slaughter lobby: My essay on why horse slaughter is unecessary and is simply a demand-based business.
New York Times: The Rail I helped cover the 2008 Triple Crown via this blog. Very cool experience and exposure.
Alex Brown Racing: Started with Barbaro, now following horse racing in general, my exploits (traveling from racetrack to racetrack) and pushing to end horse slaughter. We have active discussion boards.
Alex Brown Racing: Unfolding Story: A wiki, designed to document horse welfare information from the above project.

The following are a couple of whitepapers I wrote while working in Business School Admissions.

Engagement Marketing Revisited: How to Embrace the New Social Media Tools: Published November 2009. This whitepaper is an updated version of the '06 Whitepaper to include social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Engagement Marketing: Published June 2006, Whitepaper. I wanted to write a paper that explains blogging and other web 2.0 techologies, and their impact on marketing, especially within the MBA admissions field.
Discussion Boards, Chat Rooms and the Power of Transparency: Published 2004.

The following are blog projects I have worked on etc.

Introduction to Marketing:
A class I taught at Wharton. Used the blog to manage communications and had each student create a blog to use to share insights and work on a group project.
Information Technology Marketing:
My final class at the University of Delaware (Spring 2007).
timwoolleyracing.com:
A site for a racehorse trainer. The entire site is a blog, and it was designed by Eliza.

more wiki PR...
more PR: MBA Admission Process: Wiki-Based Clear-Admit Has The Insider View for the MBA Admissions Wiki. This story basically discusses the evolution of the admissions space with respect to the internet impact.

Keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed the wiki works!

wiki update...
so our MBA admissions Wiki has been 'live' for a week. In that time we have accumulated about 25 new pieces of content and have had three positive blog PRs, one each from Diva: Is 2006 the year of the Wiki?, Robyn: Interview with MBA Applicant Wiki Creator and Dana: Wiki for MBAs (for which I am truly grateful) and various feedback from the applicant bloggers themselves.

For week one I think we have accomplished what we would have liked, but it is still too early to get complacent.
