Bio
I have lived all over the USA and the world. I grew up in San Diego, Houston, and Wilmington, NC. I left Wilmington to attend NC State University in Raleigh and stayed for the next fifteen years. By the time I left Raleigh I had met my wife and been married for two years. Next we went to Romania as Peace Corps volunteers. We lived for two years in a small town, Targu Neamt. For our third year in Peace Corps we moved to Ramnicu Valcea. After Romania we moved to Kyiv, Ukraine and then finally back to the USA. Now we are settled in Aiken and quite happy to stay put for a while.
During this time I worked mainly as a technologist for various companies both large (HP, IBM) and small (RTCi, MercuryMD). But during my time overseas I was a teacher for two years and in international developer for three years.
My wife and i have been married for 8 years and have a wonderful, happy toddler burning rubber around the house. He makes life a joy and a torturous adventure at the same time and we love him dearly.
For fun, I like to throw my yo-yo. I find it both fun and a great stress relief. Whenever I get nervous concentrating on the repetitive actions calms my nerves. For the two years I lived in Kyiv I could be seen walking to and from work throwing my yo-yo around.
