David Sobsey named new Associate Publisher

As MacTech celebrates its 20th anniversary of providing in-depth technical coverage for Mac developers, tech professionals and power users, we are excited to announce we have named David Sobsey to the newly created position of Associate Publisher.

Rolled-out in our November issue, the new MacTech Magazine features not only a great new design, but a greatly expanded page count and even more great "How To" articles on topics our readers are finding invaluable. Written for technical professionals, each and every month MacTech features great, in-depth articles on topics including server configuration, multi-vendor networking, security, supporting Macs in the Enterprise, PDF tricks, databases, web design, home automation, and much, much more.

In this newly created position, David brings to MacTech 20 years experience in the Mac market place. David's vast experience includes a background in enterprise application development, IT support services, sales, and organizational development. In 1991, David co-founded Seneca Corp. an IT services company who's customers included Apple, Digital Equipment, Compaq, LinoType and Booz Allen. His background also includes stints as CEO of Multicast Technologies, a multicast consulting and product development company and Audiosonix, a company that developed proprietary Internet based file delivery software for the media content marketplace.

"We're thrilled to have David take the role of Associate Publisher," said Neil Ticktin, Publisher of MacTech Magazine. "David's background on the Mac, his understanding of what geeks need to get things done, his marketing experience, and his recognition within the Enterprise market all make him the perfect person for the position. Not to mention, it's always great to have another Dave on the team. :)"

At MacTech, David will be responsible for the magazine's non-developer technical content, managing the overall production of the magazine, as well as ad sales and business development.

Our Editors we will continue to expand our content to deliver great value for all IT professionals, developers, net admins and all professionals who utilize the Mac in their jobs.
