Product Manager, Wikimedia Foundation
"Let's improve Wikipedia together, by making it easier for new and experienced users to collaborate productively."

About me

I am product manager for editor engagement tools for the Wikimedia Foundation. I started as a contractor in October 2011 and joined as an employee in January 2012. See also my personal Wikipedia account, which I created in 2006.

I am the founder of NewsTrust.net, a nonprofit social news network promoting quality journalism, which was just acquired by the Poynter Institute. I was elected an Ashoka Fellow for that work as social entrepreneur. For more info, see my online bio.

My previous ventures include: Handtap, a wireless content service for mobile phones; shockwave.com, a web entertainment site at Macromedia; Apple Computer's Multimedia Lab, a new media R&D group; and Videowest, a producer of rock journalism for ABC, MTV and public TV. I also produced "Hackers" (a documentary about the heroes of the computer revolution) and earned four patents for my interactive TV work at Apple.

I look forward to collaborating with you and other Wikipedians to help engage readers and editors to participate thoughtfully on Wikipedia. Please be patient with us, as good products take time to develop. With that in mind, I highly recommend reading this fine Wikipedia essay.

My role at the foundation is to develop new tools to help readers and editors contribute more effectively on Wikipedia. We strive to encourage collaborations between new and experienced users -- so they can learn from each other and improve Wikipedia together. I'm honored to be working with you all to help make this possible!
