I’m VentureBeat’s National Editor and lead mobile writer. I’ve been writing about technology since 2004, worked in IT support for many many years, and studied philosophy at Amherst College. I’ve also had experience on the retail end, as an electronics associate at Office Max (RIP) in my teenage years. I now live in Brooklyn, New York.

Outside of technology writing, I’m an avid podcaster. I’m a co-host on the Slashfilmcast, where I geek out about movies and pop-culture, the Drill Down, where I chat about tech, and Republic City Dispatch, a podcast following The Legend of Korra (yup).
