Before starting my own business, I spent more than 13 years working in Information Technology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, where I used my technical skills to keep IT running and my design background to communicate the Stanford Genome Technology Center's achievements via the Web. I created my first web site in 1998 for a Research Conference with 250 attendees.

I also serve on the Board of a network dedicated to supporting scientists and scholars in North America. My extensive experience of working with researchers and Startup founders allowed me to gain deep insight into the world of Academic Research and the Silicon Valley Mindset alike.
