Steve Jobs passed away tonight. I knew this day would come, but I hoped that it never would.

I never knew Steve personally. It was only through his work that I came to understand who he was…a visionary. He had contributed so much to the tech industry, but most importantly he helped bring technology to the masses.

There is no denying his impact on our daily lives. He had the unique ability to not only know where the industry was heading, but to bring together and inspire others to help build that vision. Just one of his milestones would be enough to secure tech icon recognition, and yet he had contributed to so many:

• Apple II
• Macintosh
• Pixar
• iPod
• iTunes Music Store
• iPhone
• iPad

Steve Jobs was 56. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
