About Me

Every day at i2E brings an opportunity to help build Oklahoma’s knowledge economy by assisting high growth entrepreneurs in building their companies. Specifically, my job is to write about our high tech clients through our blog at http://www.i2E.org or in magazine and newspaper articles that we write or pitch to Oklahoma media. I was business news reporter for The Oklahoman for more than a decade. During that tenure, I closely followed and reported on Oklahoma’s emerging life sciences industry, as well a telecommunications, technology and the agriculture industries. I also helped the Business News section of the paper develop its blog and dived into the new area of video reporting for The Oklahoman’s Web site. My focus has been primarily on the people involved in each of my areas of reporting emphasis.
