I learned my first programming language (Applesoft Basic) in 1989. Over the years, I've done projects in C & C++, Pascal, FoxPro, 4D, AS/400 iSeries CL, dBase, Perl/CGI, Access, MSSQL, VB5-6/COM+, Classic ASP, and uncounted legions of Windows, Mac, and *nix scripting languages. Since 2002, I've focused on C# and now ASP.NET MVC/jQuery.

I've worked in the building materials industry supporting wholesale trading for 20+ years. I'm interested in exchange-based and cash forward trading, derivatives, simulation, project management, and other quantitative analysis topics e.g. inventory policy and market position. Most recently, I earned a graduate certificate in Systems Science, taking classes in agent simulation, complexity, and big data modeling.
