Currently I'm the Talent Board president and a board member responsible for the Candidate Experience Awards worldwide. Founded in 2011, it’s the first nonprofit research organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience with industry benchmarks that highlight accountability, fairness and business impact. I also hosts the popular Talent Board #TheCandEs Shop Talk podcast that covers recruiting and candidate experience.

I'm an HCI certified Talent Acquisition Strategist (TAS) and Human Capital Strategist with 20 years of domain expertise in the human resource and talent acquisition industry and related technology marketplace. I've been a prolific "HR business" blogger and writer since 2004 and my first business book on career management titled Tech Job Hunt Handbook was released in December 2012 from Apress. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from San Jose State University.

An avid reader, a grateful father and husband, I write regularly about responsible parenting and personal leadership at GetOffTheGround.blogspot.com.
