Developer, Architect, Musician, Family Man. Decades involving C, C++, Java, SQL (mysql/oracle), Web Stuff from front end to back (linux, tomcat, apache, cold fusion, iis, custom servers, css, html). Lately, javascript, node.js, json, mongo, cassandra. I love a lot about the state of things right now - for example, the existence of Github makes me smile a lot. On the inside, at least.

I've been fortunate to have written software that has been used by or millions of people over my career, and I like to think that my small contribution has incrementally improved life for people. Making life better is the value that I hope to provide with everything I develop.

Otherwise, movies, reading, touring with my band. It's a good time to be in the world even though it's a weird time to be in the world.

In Beatles vs. Stones, it's a million percent Beatles. And I dig the Stones. But it's not even a comparison.
