About Me

Well here it is, all about me. I am a middle aged man, living in Orlando, Florida. I am currently a developer with Hard Rock Cafe International. I have been developing software in one form another since I was young copying code from a Basic "create your own game" book.

I am married, for since 2007, and I have one Son. Who will get his own PERL scripting book as soon as he is able to read. Now most of you think I'm probably a geek, and maybe I am. But I've done a few other things of note in my life.

During my younger years I was involved heavily in video gaming, scouting, and being a kid. One of my proudest moments as a kid was earning my Eagle Scout Badge from Troop 849. Now those were some good years.

After I graduated from highschool, being that I was never much for schooling, I went and joined the Florida Army National Guard. My MOS was 94F - Special Electronic Devices Repairer for which I worked on anything and everything that plugged into the wall, or required batteries.

After six years of the National Guard with limited promotion availability I decided it was time for a change. I joined the Us Army Reserves as a 74D - Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Specialist .
