About Alistair McBride

Al is the non-techie of the SelfAssemblySites' founding duo. More of a big-picture thinker, he's a quick starter, a ponderer and full of the spirit of 'ah why not?'. At times devastatingly insightful while being able to admit when he's wrong or having hardly a clue what's going on, he's never afraid to ask simple, direct questions, trying to get to the heart of the matter. He has a wide and diverse range of interests and passions, core of which are usually art, psychology or innovation. He reviles in the 80/20, greater efficiency and more straightforward and effective ways of learning or doing things and so Sas is a fitting business for him. He truly believes that a website can be an embodiment and catalyst to making any idea reality in the early 21st Century. You can make all sorts of non-profit and for profit projects live and thrive with a good website as your launch pad.
