About

I like to say that I’ve been doing social media before it was invented.

I’ve been managing or helping to manage the Delphi Forums online community network on-and-off since 1999. Before that, I was a business news blogger (though we didn’t use the word “blogger” back then) for the NewsPage online business news service and Netscape Business Journal (both of which are now defunct).

Before getting into the online media business, I was a broadcast journalist for ten years. I won several awards for my work in radio news and my reports appeared on CBS Radio, AP Radio News and the BBC.

As you might guess from my background, my interests and expertise include social media, user-generated content, online communities, the future of traditional media and podcasting.

I’m also an avid music fan and iPod owner, so I follow developments in digital music and the recording industry quite closely.
