Most of my work is in technology and trade nonfiction, with a concentration on business and entrepreneurship, along with the occasional foray into something completely different, like weightlifting or music production. Below, a sampling of projects and subjects.

Technology
I’ve been editing computer-related books for a loooong time. (Think: DOS.) So, I’ve edited books about:
- many versions of the Microsoft Office apps,
- several versions of the Adobe Creative Suite apps,
- animation and cartooning in Flash,
- programming,
- operating systems,
- database design,
- network administration and security,
- and HTML and CSS…
…for Logical Operations, The Coriolis Group, Microsoft Press, and Axzo Press.*
I’m especially interested in responsive Web design these days—and as you can see from this website, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
