Introduction
Welcome to my personal web site.

Within this site, you will find a fair amount of information about me - what I've done, what I've learned, where I've worked, and what I find interesting.

Feel free to browse around and, if you're so inclined, drop me a note via any means listed on the Contact Info page. I'd love to hear from you!

"Sales Pitch"
I am a friendly, highly motivated, energetic, and dedicated team-player with a broad range of relevant computer industry experience. I am considered by others (and myself) to be a person of integrity. I am somewhat unique in that I love working with both computers and people and, therefore, have gravitated into working environments that allow me to do both.

I keep myself very busy and any spare time that I have away from my work and my family is devoted to self-study and several volunteer opportunities with which I am involved.
