Welcome
Making technology understandable, safer, and more human.
I write, speak, and teach about technology, cybersecurity, scams, artificial intelligence, and the ways our increasingly digital world affects real people.
With nearly 30 years in the technology industry, I bring real-world experience to complex subjects and make them practical, understandable, and useful.
What I Do
Technology is changing quickly. Understanding it matters.
Technology touches nearly every part of our lives, but understanding it shouldn't require being a technology expert. My work focuses on what happens where technology and people meet: how we stay safe, how we recognize manipulation, how new tools change our behavior, and how we make sure people aren't left behind.
I explore those questions through professional presentations, community education, writing, and advocacy.

I write about technology through the lens of the people using it. My weekly newspaper column explores everything from AI and cybersecurity to scams, accessibility, privacy, and the strange ways technology has worked its way into everyday life.
I also publish a monthly newsletter to an audience of over 10,000 readers covering critical technical news and scam prevention education.
