A little about me and my family

Steve and I moved to Los Altos Hills in 1992 with our 3-month-old son, Eric. In 1995 Justine arrived. From the time they were in kid carriers we’ve hiked the town paths. When dogs joined the family we used the paths even more. Steve and I still use the paths 6 or 7 days a week. They are a town treasure.

Steve and I have volunteered extensively in town committees, at local schools and with local environmental organizations. We’ve built deep ties here and can’t imagine living anywhere else.

I am an engineer and executive. I have loved working for startups since I graduated from the University of Texas and moved to Silicon Valley. I’ve participated in numerous startups including 4 with successful exits. Steve and I are now working together on our most important startup: Home Energy Analytics. We are building it to make the world a better place.
