About

Just another ink-stained wretch trying to catch the currents in the sea of life...married 30 years now separated. 3 fabulous kids: 29(Cairo), 27(London), 16(Rescue). Definitely my greatest creations. Doing my best writing now. Writer of several books on Steve Jobs, including most recently, iCon and more importantly, The Journey is the Reward. Thousands of articles and posts mainly at Forbes and Forbes.com where I was a long time contributor. Communications maestro at UC Berkeley. A spin doctor for the Schwarzenegger administration too. Fascinating. Before that I created a regional northern California business magazine and web site called Prosper Magazine that unfortunately fell victim to the recession.
