I live with my wife and two daughters in the Seattle area.  We've been here for over sixteen years now - hard to believe I've lived here longer than anyplace else. We're almost used to the moss growing between our toes.  I'm a distance runner, avid reader, and I lead a development team for the Evil Empire.  It's interesting work, and it funds my other interests.  I'm not currently looking, but here's my resume.

One of my proudest accomplishments is completing a good number of endurance events (marathons, half-marathons, distance relays, and triathlons to Olympic distance).  I completed my first two with the Leukemia Society's Team in Training Program.  It is a great program, and a wonderful opportunity to do something extraordinary, in terms of the physical challenge, and also in terms of making a real difference.   You can read about my running efforts here, including training calendars, and running journals.  My long-term goal is to complete marathons in all fifty states, and all of the world's continents.  Some running friends and I made the front page of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in November of 2006!

In July of 2008, I was involved in a serious bicycle accident.  You can read about the accident and my subsequent recovery if you're interested.  Through this experience I've learned a lot about challenge, kindness, and what love can do.

Prior to moving to the northwest, I lived and worked in the Silicon Valley.  I am a proud alumnus of the Computer Science undergraduate program at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, a great school and also a nice place to be stuck for a few years.  I earned a Masters in Software Engineering from Seattle University in September of 2000.
