By profession, I'm a telecommunications attorney; I was at the FCC during the late 1970s and early 1980s and had the luck to be the guy who wrote the initial rules for cellular systems; since then I've been at the top telecommunications law firm for wireless matters, Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP. I have the great luck to have been married to one wonderful woman since 1985, and we have two fabulous kids.
