About

about me

For a living, I work with technology. Much of my post-Navy career has been spent designing and building databases, typically but not always, for reporting purposes. I also do pro bono work, and a while back, I did a bit of work for the Hunger Project. I love to contribute and make a difference.

I am a student of history and the social contract. I am interested in why we work together. I have read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

I am a former naval officer. The Navy taught me how to run a nuclear reactor before sending me to the University of Colorado at Boulder on an NROTC scholarship. I attained a degree in Electrical Engineering with a subspecialty in Computer Science.

I love to travel. While in the Navy, I visited New Orleans, Panama, Hawaii, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. I also transited the Panama Canal five times.

My work has taken me around the United States. I have worked in Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Greensboro, NC, New York City, New Britain, CT, Memphis and Tampa.

My love of travel and adventure has taken me to many places inside and outside the United States. I have been to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, Rome, Athens, Ephesus, Bogata, Medellin, Sydney, Alice, Cairns and Brisbane. Closer to home, I have vacationed in the Florida Keys, Miami, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Steamboat Springs, Aspen, Breckenridge and, of course, Las Vegas.

I was born in Omaha Nebraska and lived there for the first two years of my life, then we moved to a farm near Orchard for a year or so, after which we moved to O'Neill where I continued my process of "growing up". It was in Nebraska that I learned to explore as well as to ride tractors, three-wheelers, horses, and motorcycles and where I learned a bit about fishing, boating, hunting, archery and firearms.

I am a fierce reader with an active imagination. Around second or third grade, an advertisement in the back of Boys Life Magazine for the plans for a hovercraft caught my imagination.

More to come…

Quotes

I love quotes and will be finding a place and a method to share here.

but no simpler."
