There isn't much to tell here. I am an electrical engineer by trade and still enjoy that as my day job. When not at work I am a husband and father first. A member of my Church community second, and a 13 year old in the time remaining. :)

In my spare time I dabble with just about everything; Music (Sax, Cello, Guitar), Photography, Linux, Web Design, Graphics Design, Gardening, landscaping and many many other things. Pretty much a Jack-of-all-trades and Master-of-none type guy.

This is just another one of those things I dabble in. Hopefully you will find my wanderings useful, insightfull, and life changing. Okay, I will be happy if simply find them worth reading. Thanks for stopping by!

If you would like, you can also find me in these great communities. Look me up if you live there as well.
