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 innovation 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!

My Favorite Foods
I enjoy bistro-style simple but elegant food, Italian, Greek, and Indian food.
Living in the great Pacific Northwest, we get to enjoy some terrific seafood. Fresh, wild king salmon on the grill is hard to beat. I enjoy Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi and miso soup.
