CLEANSPEAK AUTHORS
Andy Beaupre cut his teeth at a national not-for-profit, then entered the technology industry working for the countrys first high tech-focused PR agency. Next, he experienced the corporate world, heading PR for a fast-growing tech company that went Fortune 500. The advertising industry beckoned as his next foray. In 1983, he co-founded Beaupre, an alternative communications, branding and PR company in a cool seaside town. Beaupre was acquired by Omnicom in 1999, but retained its brand, management team, culture and founding business model. Over time, Andy became more cosmic, grew a beard, ripped over 16,000 songs into his iPod, got hooked on social causes and shot tens of thousands of photos around the world. Hes still very active in the business day-to-day and lives by the mantra, 'the busier, the better.'

Steve McGrath has spent a decade in high tech PR after a decade in journalism. Before that, there were a couple of years waiting tables and a harrowing summer painting the upper reaches of a 10-story-high power plant. As senior technology writer at Beaupre, he strives for clarity. He rides his bike to work. And from work. And after work.

Mike McGrail has made it into his 13th year of writing about high technology for Beaupre despite a Luddites fondness for typewriters, fountain pens and an iPod so old it has a crank handle. His 23-year communications career started in the news media with a job at a weekly newspaper that paid just enough to qualify him for food stamps, but that he loved nonetheless. When not breaking bones (his own) in taekwondo class, he might be body surfing with his 8-year-old daughter, working on his house, reading good novels or writing unpublishable ones.
