 Barbara Sehr fired up her vocabulary in the trenches of South Los Angeles, covering the kidnapping of Patty Hearst for the Herald-Examiner. Through the years, her understanding has expanded into technology, political humor, and the human condition. She is first of all, a story teller, reaching out beyond the written word to life's adventures. Just because she has geek experience at Microsoft and other tech emporiums, doesn't mean she can't describe the toll of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. Just because she loves political humor, doesn't mean she can't soberly write about the optical disk market.
Barbara was an accidental witness to history at the unveiling of the IBM PC in 1981. She is an accomplished journalist, writer, presenter, and comic geek. She has met with entrepreneurs, political figures, and "Joe-the-humans." She has the experience, talent, and a momentous sense of humor. She stands ready to put your ideas into words.
