I've been online since the early 1980's, starting with BBS' and BITNET before the Internet became a thing. I am currently employed by the Internet Society (ISOC) as the Director, Online Content, in the communications team. (NOTE: I do not edit ISOC's article on Wikipedia due to WP:COI.)

Previous employers: Voxeo, Mitel, Linuxcare, Linux_Professional_Institute
