I'm an originally self-taught programmer (beginning with BASIC back in the pre-PC days). I've picked up languages as needed including Java, Javascript, C#, Perl, VB.NET, VBA, SQL, C, C++, Powershell, and most recently Python (plus some others I'm sure I'm forgetting about). My fluency will vary as to whichever ones I'm currently using! I strongly believe

I have a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and an M.E. in Environmental Engineering. I currently work at a large University where I do system administration, research development and support, and teach a class in Numerical Methods utilizing Python (specifically using Spyder with Anaconda).

In my personal life I've been married to a wonderful woman for well over 10 years, and have an incredibly smart teenage son in high school. Add one goofy Aussie-Doodle and that about covers it!
