My name is Gabe Frost. I’m an late twenties early thirties guy who lives in Seattle and works at Microsoft. I did; however, grow up in a small town, so even though I love the city, I’m a country boy at heart. Prior to Microsoft, I have worked at various tech companies from enterprise consulting to online voting, with a bit of wireless in between. I have founded two wireless technology companies, act as an advisor to a few active startups, and remain as active as possible within the Seattle area entrepreneurial community.

I love to travel, snowboard, bungi jump, skydive, hike, kayak, run, play soccer, etc. - pretty much everything that makes my friends and family nervous. I’m in to music and movies, and am a digital home enthusiast. I really enjoy cooking, hanging out with friends and family, and have started to get into photography. Oh yeah, I laugh… a lot!

This picture was snapped in the south island of New Zealand when I was taking in the view. Sneaky friends with cameras…
