I'm a storyteller thrilled to be living during the greatest revolution in technology and communications in human history. A hundred years from now, historians will be fascinated to look back and wonder what it was like to live during this time of such sweeping transformations in life, work, and culture. 

The rise of the internet is democratizing the flow of information in ways that are empowering citizens, students, entrepreneurs, thinkers, creators, and workers in virtually every industry. As a result, it's now much more difficult for small groups of people to control markets or oppress their fellow citizens. If you have a great idea or a better way of doing things, you can now quickly and inexpensively share it with the world. And, if enough people gravitate to it, then you can start a business, create an industry, change a way of thinking, or start a cultural phenomenon.

That's the stuff I love to talk about, think about, and write about. I'm especially interested in the revolutions in science, technology, and media.

I work as a journalist in the digital division of CBS as the Global Editor in Chief of TechRepublic across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. I write about the game-changing technologies, companies, and products that are transforming how we live and work in the 21st century. You can find a few samples of my writing below. 

On my own time, I love walking, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and taking photos—and I treasure moments with my family above all things. I’m also a Bahá’í, which has given me a lot of inspiration, hope for the future of humanity, and respect for people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
