About
I moved here for the river. I brought the work with me.
I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and lived there for 54 years. A chip company in Silicon Valley in the ’90s. My own small-business IT shop in Marin. Seven years running IT for a surgical department at UCSF, then IBM and BioMarin.
In 2023 I moved to Chattanooga for the river, the trails, and a slower pace of life. I didn’t leave the work behind. NoogaBytes is what I learned out there, for businesses here, at prices that make sense here.
My best-known client is still out west: Molly’s Boats, a charter business on San Francisco Bay. See what changed for her.
