I am a New Jersey native who put down roots in San Francisco.


I’ve heard all the jokes about being from New Jersey. Really.


A graduate of Princeton and Stanford Universities and a longtime meditation student in the Zen and vipassana traditions, I have been a software branding and marketing guru, a Dante scholar, a serial entrepreneur, a short-order cook, a DVD reviewer, and a neighborhood activist.
