Disclaimer: the following was written for marketing purposes. While it's all technically true, I include it as much for amusement value as any other business reason.

Kevin Epstein is a Silicon Valley marketing executive with a Stanford MBA, a degree in high-energy nuclear physics, several technology patents in his name, founding experience at three successful small-business retail ventures, and more than fifteen subsequent years of experience in guerrilla marketing tactics at such software industry high-flyers as Netscape, RealNetworks, Inktomi, and VMware.

Since 1992, his marketing programs have generated more than 5 million sales leads for companies of all sizes in all major global markets. He has spoken at seminars addressing top executives from the Fortune 500, has been a popular guest lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and School of Engineering, and has received various awards for his impact on sales.

Committed to innovation and appropriate marketing, Kevin continues to serve as an outside advisor to various venture-backed and individual entrepreneurial start-up companies.

In his rare expeditions outside of the office, Kevin remains actively involved in Stanford and Brown University alumni associations, as well as local community efforts. He is also an avid sailor, swimmer, and chef. Originally from the New England area, Kevin currently resides in Northern California.
