About
I'm 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 entering the IT industry, and I've been in the tech field for almost three decades now.
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 pen-and-paper role-playing games and tabletop wargaming.
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 down in Las Vegas, but we continue to enjoy touring in our much 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.
