Pork on a Stick

Bacon on a Stick

Another weekly image from my archive. Click on it to make it larger.

Not your typical backyard barbeque from January 1973 in the North of New Zealand where we used to go for weekends. We lived in Auckland for about four years and this would have been right before we left for Australia. This was taken by by grand father but I must have been standing right next to him because I have a grainy black and white Instamatic image from almost the same spot. Both are in my Big Blurb Book: From the Archive 1960 -1980

I am Chief Revenue Officer at SharedBook, an innovative new education company located in New York. I have been an Adviser to SharedBook since early 2010. In early 2011 we launched AcademicPub.com a publishing platform that allows faculty and educators to create custom course materials for their classes and students.

Previously I was Managing Partner of Information Media Partners, my own business strategy consulting practice focused on helping publishing and information companies invest in their future through content management, product development and/or mergers and acquisitions. My career spans a wide range of publishing and information products, services and B2B categories and my operating and consulting experience has largely been with brand-name publishing companies such as PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Macmillan, Inc., Berlitz International, R.R. Bowker and Wolters Kluwer.

I have served as a board member of the Association of American Publishers (AAP), the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) and in addition to my responsibilities at R.R. Bowker, l also served as Chairman of the International ISBN Executive Committee.
