About Me
Work History
Nononina
Apr 2007 - Present
Co-founder
Creator of Truemors and Alltop.
1997 - Present
Managing Director
Garage is an early-stage venture capital firm. This means that we're looking for two guys/gals in a garage who are starting the next Apple, Cisco, or Google.
1995 - 1997
Chief Evangelist
This was my second tour of duty at Apple. I held the position of "chief evangelist" and was an Apple fellow. My job description was to protect and preserve the Macintosh cult by doing whatever I had to do.
Fog City Software
1993 - 1995
CEO
Fog City Software created Claris Emailer and LetterRip, two Macintosh applications. This was a great company because I got to work with three of my favorite people in the world: Will Mayall, Kathryn Henkens, and Jud Spencer.
1983 - 1987
Software Evangelist
My job was to convince developers to create hardware and software products for a new computer that had a zero installed base, zero backward compatibility, and zero/month sales. Towards the end of my first tour of duty at Apple, I also managed the group that published the Apple-labeled software (MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw, etc) that became Claris.
