Who are you?

Im a fun-loving geek who is driven to create useful things (mostly with code) almost as much as I am called to teach others how to do it themselves. Im passionate about clean, purposeful interfaces and joyous user experiences. I enjoy diving into data and have been known to get lost in SQL at times. I read lots of books, but never seem to get through my reading list. Im a happy husband and father of two.

Graduate Assistant, University of Maryland Oce of IT College Park, MD 2004-2006 In the Oce of Learning Technologies, I wrote and installed software and built platforms to enable the use of collaborative learning tools in courses.
