My career has been spent at the intersection of business, politics and government. I have served the public as an elected and appointed official and shareholders, as a VP and officer of a large corporation. I like to think that I've learned a few things and that my experience at all levels of government and business gives me the tools and contacts to effectively resolve difficult, high-profile problems. I am partner at Botosynthesis, a ferocious software development firm focused A.I.Throughout my career I have been lucky enough to work with some exceptionally innovative people-- As a kid my first bosses in life were with The then Oakland Raiders where I worked for Al Davis, John Madden and Ron Wolf. They taught me about focus, preparation and loyalty. I learned so much from the late Tony Tiano at KQED I could never repay him. He showed me how to motivate staff and the good that comes when everyone shares in the success of an organization. At Crown Media I reported to Rod Thole who was the hardest worker I've ever met and a man of uncompromising integrity. I try everyday to be more like him. Maggie Bellville, Tom Schaeffer and Dave Andersen are all smart leaders who effectively and efficiently ran Charter Communications in the face of considerable adversity. I wish I still worked for/with them. I hope even a small part of those described above, make up who I am.Specialties: Corporate governance, political strategy, public relations, digital marketing, biz sev, issue development/advocacy and negotiation.
