About Me

I'm co-founder of a San Francisco software company, Tangient LLC. In March 2005, Tangient launched Wikispaces, a wiki hosting platform designed to be easy enough for everyone to use.

From October 1999 through June 2003, I worked at VA Software, most recently as Director of Engineering for the SourceForge enterprise product. Before joining VA full time, I worked on VA's Linux.com property as a Senior Developer, spent a summer at Digital Fountain, and managed a network support helpdesk. I hold a BS in Applied Economics and Management from Cornell University.

I live in San Francisco with my wife Amanda and two cats, Tess and Rocky. I spend my copious spare time sailing and smoking things on the grill. Things I can't pass up: poker games, buffalo wings, and real BBQ pork ribs. If you're curious, have a look at my projects, distractions, and resume.

If I were older, scarier-looking, and balding, I might resemble the gentleman from Grant Wood's American Gothic.

I have a blog. If you find it to be current, immediately check outside for flying pigs and signs other improbable idioms have come to pass.
