I am a journalist, editor and researcher, having gathered and prepared information for publication for most of my life. I am one of few journalists who has worked full time at newspapers, magazines, in corporate media relations, in online news (including video and podcasts), and in my own publications business.

I am also one of few journalists who has worked continuously in two diverse sectors: information technology (since 1995) and NCAA basketball (since 1977).

My work has appeared in numerous publications. Since September 2018 I've been Editor in Chief at eWEEK, where I oversee all our enterprise IT coverage. Previously I served as Editor of Features & Analysis and Senior Editor, covering IT sectors that included the data center, data storage/recovery, virtualization and green IT. I have published more than 4,000 articles and blog posts on eWEEK's Web site and in its magazine. Previously, my work has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Daily News, San Jose Mercury News, San Francisco Examiner, Orlando Sentinel, Dr. Dobbs' Journal, and SD Times, and on sites such as TechWeek Europe, PC Magazine, Baseline, C/net News.com and TechRepublic.

In 2017 and 2018, I was named among the 250 most influential business journalists in the world (No. 65) by Richtopia, a research firm that used analytics to compile the ranking. https://richtopia.com/inspirational-people/top-250-business-journalists

Before I began researching/writing about IT, I was an editor/columnist with the Peninsula Times Tribune (Palo Alto, Calif.), Editor-in-Chief of the Cupertino Courier, and a sportswriter with the Los Angeles Daily News. I was Asst. Sports Information Director at Stanford University from 1979-82. I also have been a sports correspondent for The Associated Press since 1983 and have won a number of local and national awards for my work. The most recent was a 2011 Folio Award for national magazine writing (profile of Salesforce.com's Marc Benioff).
