I’ve been in the middle of media and ecommerce services in travel and other markets since long before the explosion of mobile.

In February 2020, as the pandemic was shutting down travel, two travel tech entrepreneurs and I co-founded , a non-profit company dedicated to helping the workers and businesses.

TravelScrum produced its first event, a global travel hackathon in June. It was created and managed by more than 30 volunteers on a core teams that registered 430 participants, 86 submissions and 49 judged projects.

I also am former CEO and co-founder of Tnooz, a leading provider of news, analysis and engagement in technology impacting travel. Also, former chairman of PhoCusWright and private investor in media, marketing, travel and financial services businesses.

Active in digital media, e-commerce and mobile in operating, investment, board and advisory roles at MTV Networks, Tribune Company, National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA, birthplace of the Mosaic web browser), MIT Media Lab and numerous leading and start-up companies.

I like fly fishing, food, wine, traveling. Love all the time I can spend with my four grandchildren.
