About Me

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!

Some of my favorite foods 

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.

Thank you so much for choosing my photo as the winner for March 2008. I'm like a kid in a candy store, trying to decide what I want to get with my Amazon prize. Right now I'm leaning towards a new tripod head, so I'll be able to take even better photos to share with my Big Oven family. :) Anne
