Sky was introduced to computers in 1980 when he was 9 years old, by his grandfather, an IBM Fellow. He graduated from the Delphian School (www.delphian.org/), a private boarding high school, in 1988 and decided to forgo college to pursue his interests in technology.

Immediately after high school, Sky spent two years managing the computer graphics departments of two advertising firms. In 1990, he co-founded the popular Café Mocha coffee house in West Hollywood. In 1992, while continuing to manage the coffee house, he co-founded Dayton Walker Design, a computer graphics boutique catering to the entertainment industry.

In 1993, Sky heard about the Internet and decided to get connected. After spending 80 frustrating hours attempting to configure his computer for Internet access, he concluded there must be a better way -- EarthLink was born. Sky's vision was that the Internet would be the next mass medium, and EarthLink was how the mass market would get to it.

EarthLink has grown to become the second largest Internet Service Provider in the US, with almost 5 million customers, over $1 billion in annual revenue and 6000 employees.

In June of 1999, Sky joined with former Disney Internet chief Jake Winebaum to found eCompanies, an Internet incubator and venture fund backed by EarthLink, Disney, George Soros, KKR, CS First Boston and Goldman Sachs, among others. The eCompanies incubator helped launch several start-ups and now serves as a holding company for these investments.

In early 2001, Sky founded Boingo Wireless, a next-generation ISP providing ultra-high-speed wireless Internet access in hundreds of locations around the country.

Sky has received numerous awards and honors, including being named to Business Week's top seven entrepreneurs and being chosen as USC's 1999 entrepreneur of the year. He has been featured in Fortune, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, Success, Upside, The Wall Street Journal, and on CNBC, CNN, and many other media.

A die-hard snowboarder, Sky is a trustee of the US Ski and Snowboard team. When not working or snowboarding, Sky spends his time surfing in the waves of Malibu, California. Sky resides in Santa Monica, California with his wife Arwen, their two young children, Finn and Emer, and an ever-expanding number of household computers connected to Boingo and EarthLink.
