Below you will find PDF files from some of my recent presentations. These files are provided as reference material only as much of the content naturally is provided in the talk itself. Those of you who have seen me speak know that I use a lot of videos and discussion and in presentations; by necessity these are omitted from the PDF files. In addition, my presentations often involve transitions, animations, and effects that do not always translate well when converting to PDF format.
