About
I'm Ken Denmead, Publisher, Editor, and Grand Nagus of GeekDad. I've been running GeekDad since 2007, leading an international crew of geeky parents in bringing our readers daily news, reviews, projects, podcasts, and more content that feeds our needs as geeks and parents. I've written three GeekDad books filled with projects for parents and kids to build together. By day, I'm a civil engineer working on transit projects in the SF Bay Area. I'm also a husband, father, and life-long geek.
