 James Niccolai is IDG News Service deputy news editor based in San Francisco. He oversees coverage from the U.S. West Coast and Asia, and also writes about high-end servers, virtualization and data centers.
Born in London, James moved to the U.S. in 1994 and graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a bachelors' degree in history and a minor in journalism. He worked as a reporter at the Quincy Patriot Ledger newspaper south of Boston, where he covered crime, fires, traffic pile-ups and anything else that crossed the police scanners.
He joined IDG News Service in 1997 and worked for seven years in the San Francisco bureau, where he covered semiconductors, and later databases and middleware. He relocated to IDG's Paris office in 2004 where he worked for almost four years before moving back to San Francisco in 2008. (He missed seeing daylight for half the year.)
James has travelled widely in Europe, the U.S. and Asia. In the late 1980s he ran a summer camp in Connecticut for underpriveliged children from New York City. He rode a Greyhound bus around the U.S. and hitch-hiked to Inuvik, the most northerly town accessible by road in North America. In 1991 he spent six months exploring India. In 2000 he trekked to Everest base camp in Nepal.
He finally learned to speak French just as he was leaving Paris. His interests include cycling, yoga, hiking, playing the guitar, and cooking Italian and Indian food.
