Ever since I was a kid, I had a passion for technology and an undying urge to understand how stuff worked. I had to know what was 'under the hood'. The brunt of my curiosity was borne by all the toys my parent bought me as a kid. Nothing, with lights, fans.. moving parts generally speaking, was spared. I had to disassemble them to figured out how it all came together. Few survived to be put back together.

Eventually, that curiosity turned into a desire to build new toys with re-purposed parts from my previous escapades. These adventures with building toys continued as I studied Telecommunications Engineering. Although I studied Electronics and Telecommunications engineering, lack of interesting tec-labs allowed me to pursue more mechanical pursuits more aligned with my love for cars. From those efforts was born an ingenious 4WD 'robot' that I raced in Inter-collegiate technical festivals.

After a Masters in Telecommunications from CU Boulder, I decided to go the consulting route and joined one of the Big4 Consulting firms. I've had a successful career as a consultant, consistently appraised as a 'top performer'. I've spent the last six years specializing in implementation/ enhancements of Enterprise IT applications for Public Sector - Health and Human Services that administer Federal/State Benefit programs including Medicaid, TANF and Food Stamps.

I started playing tennis over the last few years. Thanks to a good samaritan who offered to coach me to sharpen his coaching skills, my racquet skills greatly imrpoved and my current rating is 4.0 NTRP.
