I am a rare Western Washington lifer, born in Bremerton, graduated from high school in Belfair, did a secondary education tour of the state attending WSU in Pullman, WWU in Bellingham, and finally graduating from Seattle University.

Out of college I tried to become a USAF navigator, but alas, my eyes failed me. I spent 10 years at Adobe (which acquired Aldus) working in Tech Support, then E-support, then E-commerce. I have worked at 5 internet start-ups since leaving Adobe. SEOmoz is, by far, the best.

I am an avid Mountain Biker and cook. I specialize in BBQ, much to the chagrin of my co-workers when I bring in left-overs.
