If I could do it over again

Life since PCEO

On the personal front, I married to an incredible woman, Becki, who actually laughs at my jokes, and we have two wonderful kids: Barkley (9), and Dane (7).  Becki and I play co-ed indoor soccer together (I also play on a men’s outdoor team), and spend the bulk of the rest of our time outside of work – such as it is -- with the kids.

Professionally, I left PCEO in 1989 to take over a failing Macintosh programming tools company. I ended up creating a new company, Now Software, to pay off the predecessor company’s debts. Now Software went on to become the largest Macintosh-only software publisher in the world.

I left Now Software in 1994 and created a children’s educational software company called Active Arts, which won a lot of product awards, but mostly became a huge drain on my savings.

In 1998 I closed down Active Arts and came back to Intel to start a Bluetooth networking business for Greg Lang, which quickly transformed into a WLAN business. I ran that business for a few years, and then moved over to Intel Capital (still focused mostly on the wireless space).
