I’ve had a love for computers nearly all of my life. My family always had computers around, even in the early days of Commodores and IBM XT/ATs, and I was encouraged to learn what I could about both their hardware and software. I started programming in earnest in high school.
In addition to learning about and working in the software field, I have held several positions in related technical fields, including several years as a senior network technician and systems administrator. I’ve also had the opportunity to offer several semester’s worth of courses as an adjunct lecturer at my then-local state university.
I have a BS in Computer Science, and I’ve completed the coursework (though not the thesis) for an MS in Natural Sciences.
I’m married to a wonderful woman, and I have three fantastic daughters.
I’m not really sure what a “geek badge” is, so it’s difficult to say. In general, though, I’d say I’m pretty geeky.
I’m not much on bumper stickers; either “Inspired by the mystery”, or a Darwin fish.
I’d spend time with my family.
I miss thinking that I’d someday be able to see it all, to do it all, to learn it all.
I love creating things. I wish it were easier to see the rough corners.
Let’s be honest: www.google.com
Be humble, for you are made of earth. Be noble, for you are made of stars.
To be happy, and to live a good life with my family.
