Managing Director at The Vegas Bureau
About Me
I'm a recovering daily newspaper editor redeploying quality writing/editing/management skills in a 21st Century environment.
Since resigning as executive editor of a five-newspaper group in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have led four business publications (Silicon Valley, Miami, Hartford, Las Vegas), founded an online community publication, worked in media relations and communications for a Bay Area agency (mostly healthcare clients) and spent time studying innovation offshoring in India and China as a Jefferson Fellow of the East-West Center.
Obviously, I'm always looking for a new adventure.
