I’ve been with the company 16 years now, joining Macromedia the week it was formed from the merger of Macromind*Paracomp and Authorware. I’ve had an incredible run, but decided that I wanted to slow down for a year and spend more time with family. As you may know, I live on the East Coast in Boston, but most of my team is on the West Coast and the constant travel is a big tax on life and family.

So for now, no plans at all. I am still here through the summer and then I will take some time before I even start to think about what is next.

I’ve had a blast working with the Flash and Flex communities (and helping to start Flex) now for 10+ years, and I will really miss it.
