I can't be long without a guitar. I've been playing since I was 4 years old. My grandfather, Wilbert French Swisher taught me to play and sing roots country music when I was little. I took lessons throughout my childhood. I've studied jazz, blues, rock, classical and some flamenco. I also play the violin and the piano. I released my first music album in September 2012 called "Legacy". It's no longer available for download on iTunes and Amazon MP3. I pulled it from ReverbNation. I will give you a free copy if you like.

As Chief Executive Officer of CI Wise, Inc., my focus is on team development and shared understanding. My expertise is in the area of solving business problems using open source software development to reduce costs and increase quality. I have leveraged the power of Java/Java EE by hosting legacy-conversion applications using Java as a single platform. My mission is always continuous improvement.

I am a developer for the AppFuse project. My contributions have been in the area of application extension and use. I used an AppFuse archetype to create an example application for testing concepts during my authoring of the AppFuse Primer from SourceBeat.

I have programmed computers for over 30 years. From COBOL to Java, Fortran to Ruby, Pascal to C++, and Basic to Scala, I am very knowledgeable in the design and structure of computer languages. I have spent the greater part of my career creating client-server enterprise applications and improving business IT systems and I have used object-oriented systems and technologies for more than 20 years. I favor an Agile process utilizing SCRUM and short release cycles. In Rugby, scrum is an ordered formation of players. It’s been adopted by software developer types to convey a daily huddle and shared sense of urgency. It’s usually seen written in all caps, however it’s not an acronym.
