A little about my background...

I've been with TechSmith since 2000. I've lived in the Lansing, Michigan area most of my life, and I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in marketing and logistics management.

I came to TechSmith with a background in corporate software training, and I also worked at a dot bomb. I've held various positions at TechSmith ranging from product management to training manager. In my current role as Chief Evangelist, I head up the company's evangelism program where I collaborate with customers, industry experts, and technologists all over the world.

If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to contact me!

Did you know that TechSmith software helps crime fighters? That's right - police officers use SnagIt and Camtasia Studio to gather evidence from hard drives, sites and chat rooms.

I'll be in the Monterey, California area August 28-31 to speak at the High Technology Crime Investigation Association (HTCIA) Annual Conference about using SnagIt and Camtasia Studio to capture digital evidence for forensics and law enforcement. I'll be presenting with Duane Hopkins from Innovative Corporate Solutions.

I'd love to meet up with you if you're in the area --- whether you're a crime fighter or not. We can talk shop and grab a bite to eat.
