Career Narrative
A listing of some of the highlights of my first career in the computer software industry.

I was a programmer, a project manager, a product manager, and finally Director of Product Architecture, Portals, and Release Delivery for a large software company in San Francisco.

I moved to Tucson, and taught for a year at the University of Arizona. After the class was cancelled, I became an academic advisor. Now I am back in the computer department at Pima Community College.

Personal Narrative
A listing of some of my interests and the activities I have practiced over the years.

I have been very fortunate to be healthy and active in my life. I have enjoyed running, backpacking, golfing, surfing, playing in chess tournaments, coaching baseball, writing, and volunteering with various organizations.

I have a wonderful wife, a great family, and a number of fantastic friends spread all over the United States.

Resume
A traditionally formated resume. A listing of the positions I have held, the responsibilities that were entrusted to me, skills and talents honed over the years, etc.

I feel very fortunate to have been in the commercial computer software industry from the early 1980s to the boom years of the dot-com era. I am very glad I chose one of the most topical and lucrative careers of my generation. I enjoy solving puzzles and the field of computer programming allowed me do to that.

Photographs, Art, and Fun stuff
Several photographs of me, my family, and friends.

I have also included some of my drawings -- not because they are masterpieces, but because I just want to show them off and this is my opportunity to do so!

There is also a link to a webpage that has some fun things to do and a series of links that I included just for fun. Enjoy!
