Bio

  Dan Fost is a veteran journalist who writes on a freelance basis for the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and other publications. As a staff writer at the San Francisco Chronicle, he covered technology and media, with a front row seat at the rise and fall of the dotcoms, as well as their resurrection in the form of Web 2.0. But don’t let the technology specialty fool you: Dan is a versatile generalist who has covered sports, social ventures, the environment, education, police and politics.

He is a passionate baseball fan and the author of the forthcoming book, “Giants Past and Present,” slated for publication in Spring 2010 from MVP Books.

Dan is a native of New Jersey, a graduate of Boston University, and is married with one child. He loves reading, writing, cooking, baseball, and spending time outdoors, among other things. He lives in Marin County, California.
