I'm a 38 year old single father of two, residing in Raleigh, NC, where the weather is just too nice to leave.
I'm a project manager, favoring much more agile project methodologies than I'm permitted to exercise in my full-time job. My friends would call me technical, but I think of myself as a business-minded individual who also happens to program.
I build neat tools and gadgets for PC's, web consumption, and mobile phones in my spare time. I used to do it full-time, but the location-based mobile startup I worked for failed to get venture capital and folded after two intense years.
I earn a secondary income online through stealth blogging, niche marketing, and product creation.
I'm quirky, meticulous, intelligent, sincere, relaxed, and driven.
Hobbies: mountain biking (my rig is a Santa Cruz Blur), playing the guitar (60's Les Paul, Jeff Beck Strat, Martin acoustic), collecting Pez, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, playing tennis, geocaching, shenanigans.
Interests: Wyatt (5 year old son), Piper (4 year old daughter).
Best books I've read recently: The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland, The Dangerous Book for Boys by Hal Iggulden, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager by Michael Lopp, Web Design for ROI by Lance Loveday and Sandra Niehaus, Confessions of a Tax Collector by Richard Yancey.
In my Ipod right now: Attack & Release from The Black Keys, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Fight with Tools from the Flobots, Only by the Night from the Kings of Leon, Sway from The Kooks, We Sweat Blood from Danko Jones.
Favorite Movies: Lord of the Rings series, Donnie Darko, Vanilla Sky, Big Trouble in Little China, Knocked Up, Heat.
Favorite TV shows: I don't watch television.
Pet Peeves of the moment: emo, tilted-and-elevated-perspective self snapshots, teens flashing the 'peace' sign, America-bashing
