| In Personal Oliver Starr is a serial entrepreneur with experience in technology, telecommunications, mass distribution, e-commerce, biotechnology and alternative medicine. A former professional road and world cup mountain bike racer and lifetime advocate of extreme sports, Oliver Starr has been a technology addict since using his first computer in 1976. In addition to his sports and entrepreneurial ventures, Oliver has provided consulting services to a wide range of companies including Danone, TwinLab, Luxul, NuBanc, I2Net, and TDK. Currently Starr splits his time between dual roles. He's the Chief Technology Officer of Hello, Inc. a specialized sales and management firm that provides phone systems consulting, auditing, and management for Fortune 1000 companies including Walgreen's, McDonald's, Kroger and the US Postal Service. He's also the Founder and "Head Mechanic" of The Quantum Mechanic's Group, a science-oriented consulting firm specializing in technology and biotechnology consulting, analysis, regulatory compliance, marketing strategies and product development. Although relatively new to the "blogosphere", Oliver has been contributing articles to publishers on and offline for almost 2 decades. His work has appeared in scientific journals, health magazines, sport-specific publications, and much to his chagrin, been widely stolen, and even plagiarized all over the World Wide Web.
Oliver's constantly mobile lifestyle (at one point he logged over 220 days away from home on the professional cycling tour) coupled with his prolific writing and love of technology make him a natural selection for Creative Weblogging's Mobile Technology Weblog. I've always been an early adopter and sincerely believe that the mobile/smartphone will ultimately become the remote control for one's life. I'm passionate about the technology and the market itself; hopefully this love will translate itself into news and ideas that will inform, inspire, and captivate.  Previously, Starr was Senior Sales Engineer and COO for Backbone Communications, a boutique Los Angeles based IMS Connectivity provider, specializing in corporate video-conferencing solutions over MPLS VPN. During his tenure at BBCOM, Starr was intensely involved in what has evolved into the "triple play". Says Starr, "At the time, what we were trying to do was so new, so novel there really wasn't a name for it. We called it IP Convergence, which for me has now mutated into a continuing pursuit of ever better wireless connectivity." An avid user of smartphones and other connected devices, about the only place you'll find him "unwired" is while surfing and if they made a connected device that he couldn't drown, he'd probably buy that too! Currently, Oliver resides in the heart of "Dogtown" aka Venice, California; however he travels frequently to many areas of the country, and in the winter, the North Shore of Hawaii. Always up for new challenges and learning about new technologies, Oliver is interested in technology or science oriented writing, research, development or marketing projects anywhere in the world. The Mobile Technology Weblog has been known for astute observation, exceptional critical analysis, quick notice of new or developing trends, and more than a few well-timed pieces of advice for operators and other people in a position to deploy new technologies. I intend to carry on in the excellent tradition established by Russell Buckley and focus on trends in technology, deployment of broadband connectivity, mobile marketing, location based services, and of course getting the inside scoop from the people at the bleeding edge. I hope you'll enjoy my work.
