What were you doing prior to joining Socialtext?
Prior to joining Socialtext I worked at Magnet Systems, another software company, just a few blocks away. I was designing their corporate website and developer’s portal as well as a variety of mobile applications for both phones and tablets across iOS and Android platforms.
What will you be doing for Socialtext?
Pretty much the same thing. Working on giving our look a new feel on all levels.
What are 3 words you would use to describe yourself
Obsequious, purple and clairvoyant.
What do you do in your free time?
I collect vintage electronics and I am working on a book about them. I’m also into doing home improvements, playing soccer, snowboarding, traveling, and hanging out with my 7 month-old daughter Anna while neglecting my dog, Lumpy.
What’s has been the most fun moment working for Socialtext so far?
Finding a 14-year-old bottle of scotch behind the file cabinet in my temporary cube. This intrigues me on many levels.
