This is the blow-my-own-horn page. I don’t sound like this in real life. Honest.

The Quick and Dirty

I’m a veteran (15+ years) technology writer who’s worked for magazines, newspapers, and Web sites including PC Magazine, USA Today, CNET, and most recently the Roanoke (Va.) Times and Blue Ridge Business Journal. My work’s appeared in those pubs, plus the Columbus Dispatch, Kiplinger’s, and Smart Money magazine, to name a few.

I’ve also been a magazine editor, have launched three publications, created too many Web sites to name, done marketing and PR work, and am in the process of raising my karmic comeuppance in the form of a five-year-old son.

So yeah, I keep busy.

Skills

• Photography
• Video and audio editing
• Public speaking
• Web-site organziation, optimization, and design (not making it pretty, but making it work right)

I’m the guy in the office who everyone comes to if they need computer troubleshooting, want to buy a digital camera, feel like starting a blog, and so on.

Cool stuff I’ve done
