About Me

Solution Architect MCT, MCTS, MCSD, MCP, MCAD

I live in the Virginia Shenandoah Valley; near Skyline Drive, with my beautiful wife and three beautiful children (two boys and one baby girl, ages 10, 6 and 4 respectively). I enjoy spending time with my wife and children doing just about anything besides shopping. Growing up in mountain country, I am very much at home in the Shenandoah Valley. We lived in a DC suburb for a short time in a great community, but ultimately never really felt at home.

I enjoy the outdoors very much; including archery, fishing, hiking, biking, ATV riding, etc… but especially passing these things on to my children. I make it a point to get the kids outdoors as often as possible, even if it’s just a short nature walk on a trail leading in/out of our yard. Although the trail couldn’t be an inch longer than 50 yards, it continues to produce infinite questions, lessons, wildlife and an endless supply of sticks and rocks for tossing.

I’m a bit of an X10 fan (Smart Home) and enjoy finding new ways to do stupid things like “turning on/off lights” from my computer or “disabling a TV” based on environmental conditions. I like pretty much any gadget (GPS, Xbox, Home Theater, whatever…) and enjoy interlinking them to achieve a common goal. For example; Windows Vista will stream audio over our wireless network to the home theater mp3 player (I know – “wow”, but it’s fun to me and baby girl loves to dance).

The computer industry has been good to me and I’ve been in this industry since college. Started out doing just about anything related to computers and networking, and then focused on programming for almost a decade, then into Project Management and Consulting. I enjoy identifying solutions to real problems and watching them work and evolve. I am surrounded by an enormous amount of talent which encourages thought and growth. These things are also important to me.

I believe life is short and so you should capitalize on every moment that is gifted to you. And lastly, I believe that without a doubt, there is not a (computer related) problem that cannot be solved correctly the first time.
