Work History

Nononina

Apr 2007 - Present

Co-founder 

Creator of Truemors and Alltop.

Garage Technology Ventures

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.

Apple Inc.

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.

Apple Inc.

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.
