I'm a dad and a husband. I live in Redmond Washington and work for Microsoft as a Program Manager. I've worked for Microsoft since October 2000, mostly on the SOAP Toolkit and various XML technologies.

Before Microsoft, I worked as a consultant for Pacific Gas & Electric out of an office in San Luis Obispo, CA; as a consultant for ITT Aerospace and Communications Division in Fort Wayne, Indiana; with my partner Peter Hansen in our own consulting company imagine, design, achieve, inc. in Reynoldsburg, OH; for LANShark Systems, also in Reynoldsburg; for Banyan Systems in Westboro, MA; and for Racal Interlan (which was Micom Interlan when I started). At least that is everything post college.

I went to school at Southern University (yes, I was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist, but organized religion is no longer a part of my personal belief system).

When I'm not working, I spend most of my time doing family things. I am an auto racing fan, especially Formula One and CART. I enjoy science fiction books and movies. Friday nights I get together with some friends and play Dungeons and Dragons.
