Hola, world!

I'm proud to have helped start the OpenStack open source project. I'm now VP of Marketing & Biz Dev for OpenStack at Rackspace. I love Austin, BBQ, wakeboarding on Lake Austin, basketball (Rockets & Longhorns), and my little music start up Venue.FM . I occasionally make angel investments (everybody's doing it) but I mostly juggle working on OpenStack and spending time with my family. I usually go by "sparkycollier" on the interwebs, which is my way of honoring my late, great, Great Dane Sparky

My Start Up

I built Venue.FM to help people see more great live music. Venue.FM lets you listen to the bands that are playing tonight in your city BEFORE you head out. See more great live music, I dare you!

My Smoker

My BBQ smoker is a Backwoods Chubby (really) and it's awesome.
