San Jose, CA
Social media and Web community senior manager at Cadence
Member since: June, 2008
Bio Tom manages the Cadence community as the company's social media/Web community manager.

He was drawn to online communities in the Internet's early days. He began "blogging" in 1996 (though he called it his "online journal") when working in Tokyo as a journalist to keep friends and family informed of his adventures there. In 1998 he moved to Silicon Valley as one of Computerworld’s first online reporters.

Tom's "professional" work with online communities began with Intuit when he joined the TurboTax team. He helped launch expert blogs and enhanced customer discussion forums.

He joined Symantec in 2006 to create and manage an online community for business customers, specifically IT managers. The result was the launch of the Symantec Technology Network, or STN, in early 2007. The site features white papers, expert blogs, videos and peer-to-peer discussion forums.

He is currently the social media/Web community manager at Cadence Design Systems in San Jose, Calif. He helped launch the Cadence user community in July 2008. The new site features discussion forums and expert blogs.
