About Me

Though my first software development job was in 1986, I have taken a hiatus or two from the profession, netting about 15 years of experience as a Software Engineer as of the year 2007. In the past few years I have re-discovered the joy of writing code, primarily through the influence of Andy Hunt’s and Dave Thomas’ incredible book, The Pragmatic Programmer, but also through working with some incredible developers who also subscribe to a Pragmatic approach to software development.

I am especially thankful for my wonderful wife of 21 years and two incredible daughters. They make all of this worthwhile.
