Hello!
​
​
I welcome you to explore my work, skills and experiences, and get to know a bit more about me. A born engineer. I give 100% to every new project I take on. My core passion is seeking knowledge. There is no winning and losing in seeking knowledge. You either succeed and learn, or you learn. I enjoy really big challenges that solve problems at the deepest level, which enables all other opportunities it may have blocked.

If you just want the resume, see the menu above. However, within this site I attempt to lay out the type of work that I'll be best suited to do.
About Me
Up Close & Personal
I began my professional journey as a complete amateur in 1981, before computing was what we know today. I have since worked on a number of solo and collaborative projects. I take pride in all that I do and in the long-term relationships I’ve fostered in the process. I firmly believe that hard work eventually pays off, as does caring for those around you.
​
From small, solo projects to creative collaborations with global impact, I’m always looking for the chance to explore new venues and learn something new that I can apply to my work. Explore my portfolio, and feel free to get in touch with any thoughts or questions you may have.
