Brad Sams

Brad Sams has more than a decade of writing experience and has played an integral part in uncovering Microsoft's hardware ambitions during the past six years. In that time, he has been the first to report on many of the company's upcoming products, months before they are were announced, and has provided unique insights about the direction that the company is headed with their hardware.

In this book, Brad brings together his years of experience, stories from launch events, and content from nearly two-dozen interviews, to tell the inside story of how Microsoft turned around its failing hardware ambitions into a billion-dollar product line as nobody else could. If you are a fan of Microsoft and its hardware or want to learn about how Microsoft created it's newest billion-dollar brand, Beneath A Surface is for you.

Brad resides in Cincinnati, Ohio and earned his MBA from the Lindner School of Business. Prior to starting his career in publishing, he worked as a consultant for Fortune 500 companies to help create, implement, and audit financial strategies.
