I’m a writer, editor, journalist, poet, community builder, and publisher.
I’ve been writing newsletters and blogging since the 1990s and have been a columnist, podcaster, and editorial leader for publications including WIRED, VentureBeat, Business 2.0, and InfoWorld.
I’m a swimmer and a meditation practitioner, and those practices often show up in my writing on this site. I also created tinywords, the world’s largest journal of tiny poems, which is now in its 26th year. (!)
My business is solving communications problems for tech execs and their companies. At Tweney Media, I work with companies to communicate leadership by developing bylines, blogs, research reports, speeches, books, podcasts, videos, and more.
I also coach writers and write poems for people.
