Paying the Bills
In my professional life, I keep pretty busy: I'm a software engineer for one of the largest and most respected providers of healthcare staffing services in the US, a Missouri-licensed REALTOR®, a Network Security Consultant and a Search Engine Optimization Consultant.
I've written and self-published two books: "What You Need NOW for Search Engine Optimization" and "What You Need NOW to Prepare Your Home for Sale". I've also created an ad-code response app leveraging internet telephony and real-time notifications to bring buyers and sellers together now, and am currently working on a new class of Lead-Notification service... watch this space ;).
Feeding the Soul
I have a beautiful bride, two amazing and lovely daughters and two strapping sons who teach me new things every day. They inspire me always and help me to see challenges and opportunities from different angles. They are the reason I wake up every morning, and why I am the man that I am.
... so if you don't like me, it's their fault ;).
When I'm not doing that stuff, I love to explore my surroundings with a camera and try to see things differently. I'm always surprised by how interesting things look from a different perspective. Bragging rights I have FOUR amazing kids, have ridden a bicycle for 200 miles in two days. I was a participant in the first Hangout to be broadcast live during a live newscast, and have been nominated for a Regional EMMY Award for Community Service... yo.
