About Me!

Uh, like where do I start?

I've been married since Jan '96, have 4 kids, a dog, 2 cats and just bought a new house in the back of a cul-de-sac. I'm the family man that drives a mini-van, and gets a kick out of power tools and watching the eyes of my curious little ones as they discover the joys of life. (Camping, sports, video games, puzzles, bugs & frogs, gravity, engineering, owies, kites, dirt sandwiches, etc., etc.) Having 2 boys, a girl, and then another boy really sets us up for some backyard/neighborhood sports in a bit. Currently the oldest is in 3rd grade while the youngest (and probably toughest) is just learning how to say a few more words at 18 months.

As for what the heck I've been doing to keep my sanity? Finished a BS in Computer Science at UWF while working for IHMC downtown. Picked up an eCommerce job with General Electric Medical Systems up in Milwaukee, WI for a few years working with marketing and"web-ifying" embedded diagnostic systems for Ultrasound machines. Then took a job up in
Kohler, WI working for...Kohler (think high end kitchen and bath products) as a Project Lead for their Internet Systems group. And around spring of this year, I took up a job in my parent's home state of Nebraska at the Buckle's Headquarters in Kearney running the Web Systems Development department. (Yes, it's the HQ for the clothing retailer that has an outlet inCordova Mall...even though I'd never heard of it until I was offered the job.)

All in all, I'd say I've kept plenty busy and can't believe it's about time to see all you folksagain at a TEN year reunion. (And I thought I was feeling old just seeing my first-born startdoing fractions in school.) Feel free to toss a message if you feel like it, though I don't check mail often as busy as I am.
