I have been a technical writer, editor, and Web site publisher at Microsoft since 1999. Before that, I was a small-town newspaper reporter in the Pacific Northwest. I'm fond of online community and the principle of people sharing knowledge to help one another. Before joining the adCenter team, I was founding editor of the popular Windows XP Expert Zone Community site. My basketball team in the Microsoft company league has players from 5 different countries. I get a kick out of cutting-edge technology, great stories, big fish and team sports.
