About
I am the Associate Director of Communications for the Stanford School of Engineering, which is known and emulated worldwide for building ties between researchers and startup companies. Immediately prior to this I was an editor for Patch.com, a network of local web sites owned by AOL. From 1992 through 2010, I was Silicon Valley reporter and columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, covering science, technology, biotechnology and economics. Before becoming a reporter I founded and sold a graphic design shop and alternative newspaper. Early in my career I started a radio and television station aboard a Navy ship and was editor-in-chief of UC Berkeley's student newspaper, the Daily Californian.
