VP, Web & Design

I am a web person from way back. I started work on some of the very first websites for Dow Jones back in 1994. In that time I have worked at IDD, Dow Jones, Gartner, Scholastic and now Canonical. In my personal life, I am the father of two lovely sones, husband of one lovely wife. I am originally from Milwaukee, via New York to London.
