Last Monday I officially joined RipCode as Vice President of Software Development. After more than 25 years in the telecom equipment industry it was time for a change. In life change is a certainty and while changes in careers can result in hesitancy and even anxiety it is also an opportunity to re-energize.

User generated video, social networking and mobile video are expanding markets. Conjointly they are explosive. With this explosion comes a whole new set of technical and business complexities. RipCode has a truly unique set of solutions that will change the way content providers distribute video to the mass market.

RipCode’s unique solutions and the opportunity to re-launch my career in this impressive market space are the primary reasons I have joined the company. I am very excited to be part of the RipCode team and the changes that we providing the customer. I look forward to utilizing my experience to help the company be a huge success and hope to occassionally drop in and share my new perspective and thoughts on the industry and technology developments.
