Publisher, Universe Today

Fraser is the publisher of Universe Today, a popular Internet website dedicated to news about astronomy and space exploration. The site receives over 600,000 page views a month, and the newsletter edition goes out to 26,000 subscribers every weekday. The exploration and colonization of space has always been his greatest interest.

Previous to his fulltime commitment to Universe Today, Fraser was Vice President and Partner of Communicate.com; a website development agency. During his 5 years with Communicate.com, Fraser mostly built websites, and was the project manager and leader of over 50 websites.

Previous to Communicate.com, Fraser was co-founder and inventor of CompuTrace, the world's first software designed to retrieve computers after they've been stolen (it's true, it works, check it out). Although he no longer works with Absolute Software, the company is now publicly traded on the Canadian Venture Exchange, and worth lots of money.

Fraser studied engineering at the University of British Columbia, but interrupted his studies to found Absolute Software Corporation (before interrupting studies to start high-tech companies was considered "cool", and then considered "insane").

An accomplished writer, Fraser has written three published books (GURPS Supporting Cast, Creatures of Earthdawn, Double Exposure), and several magazine articles. Although this work had nothing to do with the space industry, it did have something to do with writing. A coincidence?

In addition to Universe Today, Fraser has done Internet consulting for the airline industry, software companies, and is generally looking for his next opportunity (something space-related would be nice).

Fraser grew up on Hornby Island, a small rock off the coast Western Canada with incredibly dark skies - ideal for amateur astronomy.

He currently lives in Courtenay, BC; a small city on Vancouver Island.

(He finds writing about himself in the third-person a little unnerving.)
