I am an entrepreneur, advisor and technologist and have been working in the area of social software and online trust for over 18 years. I founded Consensus Development in 1988 as a groupware engineering firm; Consensus later went on to develop the SSL standard with Netscape Communications, a security standard which is now at the heart of all secure commerce on the World Wide Web. I later founded Skotos Tech in 1999, an online game channel centered on creating online communities. More recently I consult for social software companies such as SocialText, Opinity, and various other startups, and speaks on the topic of collaboration, trust, privacy and security at various conferences.

Since 2003 has been sharing my experience by writing in my blog Life With Alacrity, where I cover a variety of topics including entrepreneuring, collaboration, groupware, social software, online communities, facilitation, wiki, internet security, trust, cryptography, privacy, interface design, internet media, internet tools, and other topics that I am passionate about.
