About Me:
I've been online since 1985. In 1993, I "wired" the newsroom at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis by making it one of the first newspapers in the world with the (pre-Web) Internet delivered to every desktop.

I moved to online publishing in 1994 as founding editor of Star Tribune Online, which moved from a proprietary platform to the Web the following year.

After a stint as executive editor of Cox Interactive Media, I moved to Morris Communications in 2001, where today I focus on innovation and strategy.

I've been a featured speaker and teacher at conferences and workshops in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, China and Malaysia. Coming soon: India.
