About Tom Mulhern

Writer, editor, web developer, and user interface designer are among the many hats that Tom Mulhern has worn.

He spent more than 13 years at Guitar Player magazine, reaching the position of Managing Editor before hitting the "eject" button and founding Tom Mulhern & Associates in 1990. In 1997, he began working for Manual 3 (now m3iWorks) and was placed at Netscape as a web developer in its Information Systems group, and spent nearly three years working on cutting-edge intranet design using DHTML and JavaScript.

From late 1999 through the end of 2000, he was the manager of Support Systems Engineering at Logictier, a startup company that rapidly grew to 250 employees in two locations. His group created and organized technical documentation for Logictier's network operations center, which was responsible for 7x24 monitoring and maintenance of large, complex customer web sites.

Between late 2000 and late 2001 he was a user interface designer at another startup, Instantis, designing prototypes for their innovative web-based database creation and management suite of software called SiteWand, as well as documenting help material, editing white papers, and writing JavaScript for Instantis' external web site.

He is currently writing freelance articles for various publications and designing user interfaces for some cutting-edge companies in the software and Internet-related industries.

Since 1990, Tom Mulhern has been a regular columnist and contributor, and in some cases consulting or technical editor, to many magazines in the music industry, including Playback (the official magazine of the National Association of Music Merchants), Bass Frontiers, Bass Player, Guitar World, Guitar One, Guitar Shop, Musician, Home Recording, and Billboard.

A bassist, guitarist, and electronic musician who started playing at age 14, he majored in music composition and electronic music at Chicago Musical College at Roosevelt University. An avid fan of electronic and mechanical technology, he likes slaving over a hot soldering iron, collecting books (particularly on Chicago and its history, music, and technologies of all sorts), researching, and barbecuing.
