I have been an avid consumer of Wikipedia content for years now, but had not participated in the Wiki community because I felt I was not enough of an expert in any one area to be of major value to the site.

However, as my marketing consultancy has grown over the last few years, I realize that I am gaining knowledge of interesting niches that should probably be represented in Wikipedia. Plus, my editor/copywriter eyes tend to see small spelling or punctuation errors that I can easily correct throughout Wikipedia. So I have decided to participate and make an account for myself.

Briefly, I have extensive experience in Silicon Valley tech industry through the late 1980's and early 1990's for the likes of Apple, NASA, and JavaSoft. After burning out on that scene I moved to Eastern Europe where I was involved variously in publishing, tech businesses, and the peacekeeping forces in the Balkans. I also learned Hungarian and a bit of Serbo-Croat while there.

After returning to my childhood home of Seattle, Washington, I worked for a variety of companies doing various forms of communications before starting my own communications consultancy.

I have been a regular Burning Man participant for many years, and have been fortunate enough to work for the Burning Man Organization as a contractor during the event for two years in a row now.
