Tom Cole

Raised in San Jose, CA as a very picky eater, somehow transformed into a chowhound over the better part of four decades. Married, one kid. CEO and founder of Consuming, Inc., a B2B online media and marketing company. Angel investor in several startups, two of them in the food space -- Foodzie, and Bacon Salt. "Hapa," in my case meaning I'm half Chinese, half Caucasian. Speak barely serviceable Mandarin (but can read a menu!).
