Hi everyone! I'm Andy Ciordia, Slow Food aficionado and general crazy guy.

I learned about Slow Food from Lell Trogdon and Thom Duncan over three years ago. We worked hard to build a custom infrastructure that took far too much time to manage so I built a Ning community here. I love supporting our local farmers and co-producers. Having everyone make connections, learn a story, engage in the dialog, and then further a cause that fights for good things lights my fire.

I've run a personal blog for years now called 'it's my island'. I can be found all over the net and am generally very reachable/available.

I left the corporate lights for my own gig with Nuance Labs. A company helping you get your small business online while staying highly productive with a product aptly named, Liquid Minded.

My wife, Robin, is a special needs teacher for Union County. She also helps me run IMI Photography. We work events, weddings, food & product photography; selling prints and stock of the perspectives we find along the way. You can see more of my work at Photoshelter or Flickr.
