| About Me | I’ve worked as a business reporter and an editor since 1994, with the last eight years focused on venture capital and private equity industries. I began my stint as a paid journalist in 1988 when I covered city hall for a community newspaper in Southern California. In addition to business reporting, I have written news and features on high school sports, real estate, environmental issues and city government for several community publications throughout California. For the business journal chain, I wrapped my arms around several beats, including banking & finance, the business of sports, retail, ecommerce, marketing & media and technology. At Thomson Reuters, I focus on the venture capital industry, covering fundraising, startups and entrepreneurs. I contribute to peHUB.com, Venture Capital Journal and Reuters.com. I’m currently focused on creating the first conference for VCJ (http://www.vcjconferences.com/) in October 2011. I’m also currently working on producing VCJ’s first ever meetup, an invite-only affair focused on the cloud sector, for VCs and entrepreneurs. The event is on Sept. 29; ping me if you want to know more details. |
