Professional/Personal Overview
I am a freelance writer and publisher, and have written about technology, its use, and its best and most appropriate uses. I've been published in print and online and publish multiple newsletters read by hundreds of thousands of subscribers every week. As a CIO for 15 years, I've not only had to plan, purchase, and implement technology systems, I've had to explain them to the companies I worked for, and the audience I wrote for. I authored the book Multisite Systems Integration (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) describing methodologies for integrating distributed networks, based on one of the projects I developed for a health care provider. I've created training manuals and presented the classes. And I've interviewed hundreds of people on subjects ranging from resort management to technology marketing.
