It is important to be more than an advisor; it is important to be a participant. In terms of local and industry participation, I am a member of the boards of the San Francisco Food Bank (http://www.sffb.org) and the International Association of Privacy Officers, a group of corporate executives charged with setting privacy policies for their companies and customers (http://www.privacyassociation.org). I also was a founding board member of TRUSTe (http://www.truste.org), the online privacy advocacy group.
I am a graduate of Rutgers College in New Brunswick, New Jersey with a degree in Human Communication. I live in San Francisco.
