I was born in Connecticut, raised in New Mexico. I call New Mexico home, even though I haven't really lived there for quite a while. I've been in California and Japan for a lot of years, but I still miss the New Mexican green chili, the wide open skies, and the clear air.

I was a sysadmin on Sun boxes for five years, a technology analyst in Tokyo covering Japanese IT, and co-founder of an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Linux company. I moved to San Francisco in 1999 and have worked at Turbolinux, Intrinsic Graphics, Tablus, and Seclarity, all software startups -- with a little hardware mixed in -- of varying sizes. Currently, I work for Page One PR, focusing on software clients in the open source space including The Linux Foundation, Sonatype, SourceForge, Lunascape, and more. If you're a Japanese company looking to do well in Silicon Valley, please drop us a note. Page One PR can help.

I have a BA in Asian Studies and Japanese from Connecticut College and an MA in East Asian Studies from Stanford.


I like to run, hike, ski... Many outdoor sports. And I'm doing some writing these days.


Ice Hockey, Saxophone, Tae Kwon Do, amateur astronomy, soccer, lacrosse...
