About me
Member of the Success editorial team. I combine technical expertise and a clear writing style to publish articles that quickly help readers understand the big picture.
I worked for years as a systems engineer and still have a strong interest in breaking down complex problems to present them in a way anyone will understand. I dig into detailed data where necessary. Statistics and charts are useful to explain complex ideas, but an elegantly written paragraph can also do the job.
I read everything from classic literature to science magazines to keep a broad perspective. My two cats remind me that I also need to take a break and eat something now and then.
