  • On May 17, 1993 I walked into the doors of the Hawthrone Farm Intel complex for my first day.  In the beginning my job was to provide press relations support for the Intel Architecture Labs.  I supported Intel's Indeo Video standard and was embroiled in the "Native Signal Processing" battle with Microsoft. 
  • Then, a miracle happened.  Mark Ivey, formerly a reporter with BusinessWeek, and I teamed up to create the PC Dads as a fun after hours hobby.  One thing led to another and this became our full-time job. 
  • After four amazing PC Dads years I morphed briefly into a museum technology specialist (with the American Century exhibit at the Whitney Museum of Art in 2000 being one of the high points of my life).  With the retirement of Dennis Carter, the VP of marketing who created the "Intel Inside" program, the team reporting to him was disbanded and I was brought back into the PR family. 
  • For many years I leveraged the lessons from the PC Dads era to serve as Intel's Consumer Education Manager touring the USA and Canada. 
  • The last year and a half of my time at Intel I served in the North American PR Team working special projects such as the Sundance Film Festival, the launch of Intel's Viiv technology, and near the end the launch of the Intel Core 2 Duo line of processors.
  • On October 20, 2006 I was laid off along with thousands of other great Intel team members.  Return to the previous page and use the links for a recap of each phase of my Intel career.
