Waiting for the Smart Grid

Official Bio

Here’s my portfolio.

I have over 20 years’ experience in communications, most visibly as a technology journalist. IPG members mostly know me from the period of 1994-1997, when I wrote and edited for Ziff-Davis, particularly MacWEEK; and from 2006-present, as a freelancer.

I’ve also served corporate clients, provided public relations services, and produced educational courses. My main strength is in explaining highly technical subjects in ways that are clear to non-technical audiences, while preserving the important details. And I love putting together teams who can do that!
