I am privileged to be a part of a new website dedicated to helping people who love Morocco to discuss issues important to that country and society. The first set of articles on Talk Morocco revolve around freedom of the press, and I am among the contributers.
I am a husband, father, reader, writer, researcher, occasional website designer and administrator, and all-around geek. I am also a musician who plays the guitar and the bass; I have played as a studio musician for other artists. I am an avid and voracious reader, speak several languages, have worked as an information consultant on topics including culture, language, religion and computers, and spent several years running a small business in North Africa.
This is where I write occasional notes about things I want to remember or about stuff that a friend or acquaintance might find interesting; kind of like a Twitter feed, but with more than 140 characters per post.
You can email me at matthew AT matthewhelmke DOT com with any comments or questions.
I spend more time posting on Google+, and you can also find me occasionally hanging out on Facebook, and Twitter. You will even find me on LinkedIn and on Amazon.com.
