About

HardcoreGeek is my home on the web. I write for several blogs, social apps and whatnot. HardcoreGeek pulls all of it together, with a smattering of technology, productivity and Apple, Inc. thrown in. This is my personal blog, so you’ll notice there’s no rhyme or reason to the posts, no theme or direction. In other words, my playground. If you have some sort of attention deficit, you should enjoy this.

I write HardcoreGeek for me; it’s the type of weblog I like to read. Consequently, HardcoreGeek is for other nerds like me. The people who enjoy lengthy discussions about Apple and working on the web; niche office supplies and great design; science fiction and micro brews. I write for the person who never leaves the house without an iPhone, a notebook and a camera.

I spent six years as the IT Director of a residential school in rural Massachusetts. Fortunately, all of their machines were Macs, so my job was pretty easy. After 15 years they closed, and today I work as a freelance tech consultant and writer.

I operate and contribute to a number of websites. My primary weblog is the one you’re looking at right now.

I’m the co-editor at The Unofficial Apple Weblog, which is a part of AOL’s Weblogs, Inc. family. You can find an archive of my posts here.

I also serve as the Media Director at Plimoth Plantation.

Finally, I run a podcast with some of my friends at Sci-FI Cast.

Every now and then I’m lucky enough to have something I’ve written appear in the press. Here is a short list of what I’ve done so far.

1. Wall Street Journal quote
2. AP article regarding NBC’s The Office
3. Australian newspaper The Age
4. The Scranton Times

A native of Scranton, Pa (Yes, just like on The Office), I moved to Cape Cod, MA in 1994. Today I’ve got two kids, one dog, one wife and a basement full of legacy Macs.
