About David Beckemeyer
I’m a retired tech. executive, internet pioneer, entrepreneur, developer, mentor, investor, and advisor in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 20 years experience, founding, running, advising, and investing in tech-startups.
My claim to fame, if any, is being part of the wave that brought “real Internet” to ordinary non-technical people in the days of dial-up as the founding CTO of EarthLink in the 1990s.
These days I’m a science communicator and host of the Outrage Overload podcast where I speak with scientists, researchers, authors, and other experts about outrage in society, outrage in politics, and lowering the temperature.
