Michael Gosney is a recognized new media publishing pioneer and entrepreneur, going back as far as 1986 with the launch of his quarterly Verbum Journal. One of the first completely desktop published magazines, and the first to showcase and instruct on the art of digital media, Verbum was a key player in the genesis of the new industry, with sponsors Adobe, Apple, Radius and others.

Michael was ahead of the curve again when in 1991 he created Verbum Interactive 1.0, a multimedia version of the magazine and the first true multimedia CD-ROM. Since that time, the firm has been involved in many pioneering publishing and multimedia projects, both proprietary, and for clients such as Apple Computer, Toshiba, Kodak and Microsoft.

Mr. Gosney was the creator of the culturally significant events: Digital Be-In (based on the Human Be-In on the 1960s) and the Paradox Conference, which we have played a role in over many years. He also gave birth to the Radio-V music channel which we built together from the ground up.

Michael has authored (or co-authored) a dozen books, including The Official Photo Cd Handbook, Multimedia Power Tools, Making Art on the MacIntosh II, and the Grey Book. Today, he is involved in eBook publishing and traditional book and music projects. He is also a driving force behind the electronic dance music venture, Cyberset Records.
