I engage the world by using technology to tell my story. I a way, I suffer for my craft. I enjoy working for companies that continue to push the barrier of creative uses of technology. Many companies do this at first, but then slowly turn stale and comfortable with what works.

By suffering for my craft, I will move to a new company as the old ossifies and the new premiers. I have been exceptionally lucky in joining such companies. In order, MacWEEK, Landor Associates, MacWorld, Charles Schwab, and finally at my current company, Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

CP+B is a company that has never ossified. I have enjoyed the technological hurdles for six years, and each year get better.

I live in Hollywood Florida. I moved here from San Francisco. The water is much warmer. I enjoy swimming in the ocean, diving, and boating.

My favorite books are the Titan, Wizard, Demon trilogy by John Varley; the fiction books by Iian Banks, when I was introduced to The Wasp Factory; William Gibson's cyberpunk novels, though his recent work has slowed down.

My favorite movie is Ralph Bakski's Wizard. I watched it in the theater at a very young age and I think it scarred me for life. So I had to go see it about 11 more times.
