Firefox Engineer at Mozilla Corporation

I started out as a parts buyer at a computer service firm in 1992. In 1992, any one of the technicians I worked with would say "Interwhat?" if I asked what this "Internet" was...
I have worked for and consulted with a grab bag of companies and institutions, from Apple, Inc. and The Art Institute of Chicago to Indie record labels. I have seen what works and what fails in many initiatives.
I am focused on Firefox/Mozilla platform technologies. yay!
