Thanks for your responses to last month's query. John Grisham and Sumner Redstone aside, we honed in on attorney Greg Wharton.

Adept at maintaining law and order in the boardroom and the streets, Greg Wharton leads a double life. By day, the Yale Law graduate has served as GC for a number of Bay Area companies; by night (and weekend), he serves as a San Jose police officer.


	So you just spent more on your Bay Area home than the entire GDP of some small countries? Well, here's some good news you might not have seen in the disclosure: it comes with free concerts! Our favorite is the Stern Grove Festival, featuring free Sunday concerts every darn weekend until August 20th, fog or no fog. Concerts start at 2:00pm and seating is first-come, first-serve, so arrive early, pack a picnic, throw down a blanket and enjoy everything from Blues to Classical to Hawaiian music. The festival kicked off with Aimee Mann but that's already happened... so if this is news for you, find a more timely source! And check out the rest of the schedule.

Axiom Attorney Tom Kintner...
Tom earned a joint J.D./M.B.A degree from UC Hastings/UC Berkeley Haas, where he graduated magna cum laude and Order of the Coif. After graduation, Tom headed to Wall Street where he started his legal career working several intense years at Sullivan & Cromwell. Returning to the Bay Area, he found his way to the corporate technologies group of Pillsbury. After nearly a decade at global firms, Tom had an opportunity to join Madge Networks N.V. as their Senior Director of Legal Affairs. As the most senior lawyer at Madge, he took the company public and later relocated to their UK headquarters. Inevitably, the warmer and dryer California climate lured him back and Tom accepted a position as VP and GC of Arzoon. He eventually found Axiom, and since joining, has been working hard in the corporate licensing group for one of Axiom's favorite tech clients, Cisco.
