About Me

Describe Yourself:

I recently reconnected with my high school sweetheart who I hadn't seen in 22 years. Moved to east coast to be with her. We are engaged. I have teenage daughter. I have raised 3 guide dogs for the blind.

I enjoy designing software, writing code, building managing teams and all aspects of the software development process. I currently do contract development and consulting while I look for the next step in 20+ year career as a technologist.

I was happily married for 15 years. My wife passed away after struggling for decades with terminal illness.

I am a musician, wine enthusiast, dog lover, and sometimes political activist.
