I'm the founder of BigOven and CEO of Lakefront Software, Inc.

 

Before founding BigOven, I was at Microsoft and Expedia in executive positions. Lakefront Software is my second startup -- the first was VacationSpot.com, which was bought by Expedia in 2000. I enjoy sailing, biking, traveling, volunteering and spending time with my family. I'm Chairman of Escapia.com, a leading provider of vacation rental management software.  I've taught a course on the management of innvoation at the University of Washington graduate business school, and I blog every now and then about entrepreneurship and technology.

 

I've enjoyed cooking as a creative outlet for a long time.  I created BigOven.com because I thought there had to be a better way to share and discover recipes with others around the world. Delicious food is one of life's great pleasures.   More people should slow down a little bit, find one or two brand new dishes to make a month, and enjoy them with friends and good conversation.  Chances are, your favorite dish of all-time is probably still out there. 

 

Luckily, the Internet provides the perfect medium for swapping ideas and inspiration with others.

 

I hope you enjoy BigOven, and help us make it even better!

I enjoy pretty much anything on the grill, particularly the Pacific Northwest's fine seafood.   

 

You'll find a lot of different kinds of dishes on my favorites list.   I like sushi, Caesar Salad ala Steve, Grilled Salmon, and all kinds of different dishes in the Indian, Greek, Japanese and Thai cuisines.
