About Me

I work as an Information Technology Manager in a very stressful but rewarding environment. Everyday brings a new challenge. A manager is just another word for problem solver and I think I'm pretty good at it but always trying get better. I really enjoy the process of defining a problem and then coming up with a solution. I'm an active Freemason. I have found the lessons I learned and people I have met in Freemasonry to be a tremendous help to me in everyday life. On the personal side not married but stay busy dating. I grew up in Columbia Maryland which is a suburb between Washington and Baltimore where I received a good public education. After that I attended University of Maryland - College Park where I got a great education both academic and life. I now live in Washington DC. DC is a great city with people from all over world but it's not too big that you would feel lost i.e. NYC. I have to say that I have enjoyed My Space. It's fun to connect with people all over the globe that share similar interest. My work has this website blocked and for good reason ... not much work would get done if it was not.
I'm from the tough streets of Columbia, Maryland
