Welcome

A life-long learner and technology enthusiast, I have been working with computers since 1983. This was my third-grade year, and just a very few Apple IIe computers had been purchased and set up in the hallways of the school I was attending. It was a story of love at first infinite loop.

My programming experiences have ranged from operating and maintaining a small, text-based Bulletin Board System on a 300 baud modem using an Apple IIc computer as a (woefully inadequate) server in the early 80s, through developing n-tier database driven applications using Visual Basic (1999-2000), Java (2000), and the REALbasic programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) to develop custom data driven applications for deployment on both Mac and Windows based machines (2007 to 2009).

Currently, I have been working with Visual Studio 2008 & 2010 as well as SQL Server 2008, in pursuit of mastering development with C#, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and more. I will be finishing all of the requirements to earn UCSD's C# Certificate in August, 2010.

My fascination with technology and computers carries on, thanks to an insatiable desire to learn, understand, and usefully employ the latest technological innovations in both the business and home environment, for both productivity and for entertainment.
