Tom Zizzo

I worked as a professional technology business journalist for six years and did most of my work with the now defunct Electronic Business magazine and weekly newspaper Silicon Valley Biz Ink. I also did stints with San Jose Magazine and CRN(Computer Reseller News). More recently I worked for an automotive social networking site, and did some freelance work for Parts & People magazine. I graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in journalism and minor in creative writing. In regard to journalsim, fact-checking and research are my strongest attributes.

Although I'm passionate about technology-old and new, and very passionate about all-things automotive, I also spent many years selling truck and SUV accessories, as well as other aspects of retail sales. Basically, I love cars and gadgets, but what guy doesn't?
