Jim Rossi

Jim Rossi is a LinkedIn Top Voice and historian. An Eagle Scout, he wrote for the Los Angeles Times, Bike, and many others before they cratered. Then he earned master's degrees from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of California, Berkeley. His first book is "Cleantech Con Artists: A True Vegas Caper," a nonfiction, first-person, man-bites-dog story of fraud and history. Set in Las Vegas, the story begins during his graduate study there. He's currently at work on his second book, "Reverse-Engineering the Echo Chamber," about how the history of communications technology has affected information, free speech, and politics - and what we can do to find and learn from different perspectives. Jim enjoys mountain biking, golf, traveling, and meeting new people. Some of his favorite writers include Tom Wolfe, Jared Diamond, and Nassim Taleb, and his favorite-film literary characters include Sherlock Holmes, Bullitt, Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock, and Yossarian from "Catch-22." Jim lives in Las Vegas and can be reached via LinkedIn or email at jim@cleantechconartists.com.
