Temple alumni magazine profiles Technically Philly

temple-review-winter2013

The small, if compelling, story of two friends and me launching and growing Technically Philly after graduating college was the focus of a feature in the winter 2013 issue of the Temple University alumni magazine.

It also included a pretty fun photo shoot of my cofounder Brian James Kirk and I (our third cofounder moved on as an employee last year), as shown above.

Two years in and exhausted from the grind of the homicide investigations bureau, Reiter decided he needed a break.
