A few people have asked me to post a little more information about myself. Instead of the standard corporate picture, I’ve included a picture of me and my dad at game four of the Giants/Angels World Series a few years ago. I like this picture, and it reminds me that every once in a while I need to get away from my computer and live real life. If you want to see my corporate bio, check out my LinkedIn profile. You can also check out my Flickr pictures (includes both business and personal pictures).
