About Me

A builder and creator. Lover of all things creative. By day a Sr. Software Engineer, by night, an art conservationist and restorationist. As a PADI Divemaster, I enjoy swimming with the Sharks and all other creatures of the sea. I love to dance and social ballroom dancing is one of my favorite pasttimes.

A believer in Karma, one of my favorite song lines pretty well sums it up: "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make." - The Beatles, from the song "The End". It kills me to quote this since my favorite group of all time are the Stones!

Oh, yeah...I have a pretty good sense of humor and love to laugh. I view life as a cross between a soap opera and a sitcom, either way it's pretty damned funny...

"You can't always get what you want...but you just might find, you get what you need." - Mick & Keith aka The Glimmer Twins

The difference between theory and reality is, in theory, there is no difference, but in reality there is.
