If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a geek, or if you prefer, a nerd. I work as a Systems Engineer for large technology oriented company and work with K-12 schools and school districts around the area.

Animals are a big part of my life. I’ve had many pets over the years, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, iguanas, fish, horses, donkeys, goats, and llamas. At the moment, I just have dogs and cats.

You may have also noticed that I like photography. I get countless hours of enjoyment photographing a little bit of everything. Not surprisingly, animals are one of my favorite subjects. I post all of my photos to Flickr, an online photo sharing service that I’ve participated in for several years now. You can seem my Flickr photostream here. I currently shoot with Nikon camera gear.

In my spare time, I volunteer for Helping Paws, a fantastic non-profit organization that trains service dogs for individuals with disabilities. Over the years I’ve been directly involved with the life of several Helping Paws dogs, including Daisy Mae, Emmet, and Holly, Jordan, and Joy. I served for more than five years on the Board of Directors for Helping Paws and provide advice on technology for the organization. I also designed and maintained the website a few years, but I’ve recently handed off the baton on that one due to lack of time.

I’m interested in tons of things and I’ve been lucky enough to do lots of things in my lifetime. This blog is reflection of some of the things I’ve done over the years.
