I am a senior applications engineer (computer geek) who works at a world-class, multidisciplinary, federal research institution where I design, build, and maintain web applications and content management systems. I have a knack for logical and efficient information architecture; simple, functional, and elegant interface design; and the ability to look at any work process and readily identify ways to make it more efficient -- usually by employing some form of computer technology to meet this task.

My work really does inspire me and I thoroughly enjoy what I do. Nevertheless, life can't be all work and no play. So, for fun and excitement, I volunteer as a firefighter in my local community, enjoy taking pictures as an amateur photographer, am always teaching my old dog new tricks, and truly value the time I spend with family and close friends.
