I’ve spent decades in media—starting as a journalist (Village Voice, ’92 Clinton-Gore campaign for CBS News, then launched CBSNews.com in late 90s) before shifting to the business side of the Internet. Today, I consult at the intersection of media and tech. I’m originally from Coney Island and grew up in a music-loving family back in the days when AM Radio was still a thing. I’m not a pro but I’ve played rhythm guitar since age 14 and still love it.
