Besides my wife, my two other passions are technology and analytic philosophy. I've spent most of my professional life in the software industry and love to play with both software and hardware. I'm married with three children one of whom--my son--is becoming an avid gamer. I have a graduate degree in philosophy and teach as an adjunct for Seattle Pacific University in Seattle Washington. When I'm not writing code, I'm reading Descartes or dating my lovely wife.
I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional and and a Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician
I have spent the better part of 20 years in the computer industry with most of my training coming from the Microsoft Corporation. I successfully led development teams through large-scale software development projects one of which was bundled with OEM releases of Windows. While at Microsoft, I participated in all areas of software development and design including code writing, software design, test, program management, and release. I spent much of my time at Microsoft as a very successful people manager. I have taught numerous courses for Volt Techncial Services on programming and automation. I also co-authored a book through Microsoft Press on Microsoft Access 2003 (Microsoft Access 2003 Inside Track)
I have worked with computers since the early 80s writing my first programs on an Atari 400. I spent some time with the RT Lawrence Corporation in Southern California writing an IVR (interactive voice response) system that was sold to large clients including Reliant General (Southern California's second largest insurance reseller at the time) and Turbo Data Systems who processed parking tickets for many Southern California counties. I then moved to Microsoft starting out in setup and release then moving into software development and finally managing a large development team. I left Microsoft in January 2007 to start my own software development firm, Edenic Software (www.edenicsoftware.com).
I've written multiple training courses for Microsoft and done many hours of classroom technical training for Volt Technical Services.
