Where audiovisual tech, business & foodie fascinations converge. 

I have worked in the AV technology industry in Highed Education for over 25 years starting as a media technician and continuing on in coordinator and manager roles. I currently offer AV consulting services, as well as enjoy life persuing interests in archeology, animal rescue, and music. 

Here's the official bio, we can talk about the un-official bio in person.   Currently, I am the Director of Product Marketing focusing on NETGEAR’s business solutions.  I started out working in broadcast TV with a successful career in video editing before moving to the manufacturing side with roles in product management and marketing.  I have traveled the globe extensively, including working two Olympics for NBC Sports and winning an Emmy Award with the team in Athens in 2004.  Aside from work, I am an avid drummer and have motorcycled solo across the US several times. I can be found on weekends playing music and getting to know our recent home of Nevada City in the Sierra foothills of California with my wife and 2 rescue dogs.
