"Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing."

- Thomas Alva Edison

I was born in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States. My mother is a teacher and my father is a psychologist. I have one brother, and a little dog named Peanut.

But you're not here to read about that.

In this section, I'd like to introduce you to my work history, to some of the jobs I've had, some of the projects I've worked on, some of the decisions I've made, and some of the accomplishments I've achieved. I've worked for companies large and small, on technologies that are modern and ones that are now obsolete, and I've learned a lot from some very smart people.

My intention is to give you some concrete examples so that you can judge for yourself how I might be of value to your business. This is what I consider to be some of the most fun and/or challenging projects I've worked on, and it may get technical pretty quickly - so be warned. Sometimes it's not the expertise in a particular field that makes the difference, it's the out-of-the-box thinking and experience with similar problems that end up being the path to a good solution.
