I've been writing and editing for Northwest technology companies since 1989.
A well-rounded geek, my experience ranges from software to semiconductors, embedded computers to test & measurement, motion control to electronic manufacturing services. My market experience is just as broad, including healthcare, industrial, telecommunications, electric power, test & measurement, discrete & process control, military, point-of-sale, consumer hardware & software and display technologies.
I’ve held positions in print production, marketing communications, public relations and investor relations, and on both the corporate side (Intel, Applied Microsystems, RadiSys) and agency side (MKTX and Waggener Edstrom), as well as freelancing. Since 1999, I've been the editor-in-chief of the Software Association of Oregon's monthly online publication (circ. ~4500).
My articles have appeared in EE Times, Computer Design, Electronic Business, Microsoft Embedded Review, Windows Developer’s Journal, Machine Design and Earth Imaging Journal among others. I've also prepared presentations and papers for engineers to present at Embedded Systems Conference, PC Developer’s Expo and the International Conference on Signal Processing Applications and Technologies (ICSPAT).
I've been a guest speaker at marketing classes for the Oregon Executive MBA program and the Portland State University MBA program. I also teach a half-day workshop on Writing for Technical Publications that has been offered through Portland State University’s Center for Excellence in Writing.
I received my bachelor's degree from Willamette University with a double major in math and French, and master of fine arts degree in writing from Vermont College.
