Robert Keenan started covering the electronics industry in the mid-90s. At the time, Keenan worked as an editor with Wireless Systems Design magazine, where he helped guide the editorial direction of a publication aimed at developers of wireless systems and equipment. As the electronics sector heated up in the late 90s, Keenan made the shift to a Dot Com company called VerticalNet and took the helm of a startup/award-winning web site called Wireless Design Online. During his time at VerticalNet, Keenan also managed the day-to-day operations of RF GlobalNet, a web site dedicated to RF and microwave design engineers. After leaving VerticalNet, Keenan took over as Editor-in-Chief of Communication Systems Design, a monthly CMP Media LLC publication targeted at design engineers developing communication systems and equipment. Two years later, Keenan made the shift back to the web when he took over CommsDesign.com, a leading communication design web site that he still runs today. Keenan has served as the chair and featured speaker at several industry events, including the Communication Design Conference, Gigabit Ethernet Conference, Comdex and Networld+Interop. He holds a BA in Communication from the University of Scranton, Scranton, Pa. and is the winner of the J. Harold Brislin Award for Excellence in Journalism.
