I grew up in Charleston, SC, went James Island High, Haverford College (Physics), and the University of Utah (Bioengineering). I had a brief career in the biotech world before getting involved with web companies in 1997.

I was one of the creators of Webshots, and wrote the code for the first large photo sharing site in 1998, which was arguably the largest social network of the day.

After a few rounds of owning Webshots, and working for others who bought it, I co-created Mountain Project with Andy. I've also started 83 Degrees and The Start Project with Julie and Narendra, where we've created many web sites, including the critically acclaimed calendar 30 Boxes. I am currently the CEO of our latest endevour, Message Bus.

I spend most of my time kiteboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, telemark skiing, running, adventure racing, or eating indian food. I still like to write code - usually when it's cold and not snowing.

I live in Boulder with my wife Megan.

I've got accounts on every network out there, but only use a few:

Facebook
Mountain Project
LinkedIn

Webshots
Yelp
