About Me

If personal computers had been around when I was going to college, I might very well have become a programmer. But, back then, assignments required going to the computer lab for two hours at 1:00 a.m. one day a week, which was supposed to be enough time to write, run, and debug your programs—on punch cards!

Today I make my living as a freelance writer, mostly writing marketing content for high-tech companies like Adobe Systems and EMC Documentum. My clients tell me they like working with me because I have the ability to bridge the gap between what software engineers say about their products and what business managers and end users need to hear. A former colleague of mine, a web development manager, once called me "the most technical non-technical person I know."

I also enjoy finding new ways to make my own technology easier to work with. (My mother always said that "efficiency" is simply "organized laziness"—not that I'm lazy of course! :)
