Happy New Year! My wife and I had been living in Berlin for several years as an expat with Nokia. We moved back into our home in SF last year and are loving getting reacquainted with the city again. So much changed in a few years. Hipsters everywhere! It seems that the Internet of Things -- and specifically connected cars -- are going to become the next consumer internet revolution, so I quit Nokia and joined a start up in that space. I now get to combine my passion for cars with my geekier tech side and am working with the large auto OEMs on bringing app stores and internet business models to vehicles. On a personal note, my 20 year old twins are doing great. Daughter Kate is going to Rice and son John is transferring into Berkeley. Been married now 11 years to my lovely wife Marianna. Would love to reconnect with the wharton community in SF area or visiting out of towners!
