About
A longtime technology nerd, I started using computers as a hobbyist in 1979, when I wrote my first program in BASIC on an Apple II. Some years later, I unexpectedly found myself in the IT industry, and I've been in the tech field for almost three decades.
My other interests include travel, music, movies, sport shooting, and writing. I'm a licensed ham radio operator (W4SDO), and I have enjoyed a lifelong interest in wargaming and tabletop role-playing games.
In 2017, my wife and I left the East Coast to begin an 18-month travel adventure. We toured throughout the central and western United States, living and working on the road in a forty-foot motorhome. We eventually settled in Las Vegas, but we continue to enjoy touring in our smaller and more nimble travel van.
I'm the principal consultant at POD7, LLC. I also periodically take interesting contract work for development, security, and systems engineering roles.
In 2022, I wrote my first novel, which I'm currently editing for publication.
