Watch my reel

I've been playing around on the Internet since the early 80s. I began as a beta tester for CompuServe, Prodigy, (for DOS and Windows) AOL and AOL's GNN, and then for NCSA Mosaic, leaving the Mosaic project to follow Mark Andreessen as a beta tester for Netscape.

In the early 90s I got into desktop publishing, graphic and web design, then web hosting, having kept an Internet presence in some form ever since.

After wasting countless hours (years, actually) with the likes of Doom, Duke Nukem ("Damn! You're ugly"), Descent, and a plethora of other computer games, I dabbled in competitive gaming with the Unreal, Quake and Tribes franchises.

I'm an old school gamer (keyboard & mouse) not new school (controller). I'm a Windows/Linux PC user/enthusiast. I'm not a Mac/Apple user/fanboi.

Definitely not the smartest guy in the room, but definitely one of them. A firm believer that there is more shared intelligence in the room than in any one person.

I love art, photography, illustration, music, and reading a good book.

Never say no to an opportunity to learn something new, even if it be about yourself, someone you already know, or someone you may have just met.

Over 28 years of government and industry experience working as a Master Electronics Technician with a strong background in Project Management, Government Contracts, Personnel Management.
