First and foremost, I'm a dad. Then I'm a golfer. Since golf doesn't pay the bills, I'm also a developer. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, it's just that I don't have the time outside of work to develop. Being a dad takes up most of my time at home, and when I have the time, I like to hit the links.

I've been developing with Microsoft products since 1999. I started with Visual Basic 5.0, moved onto 6.0 and then .NET in 2003. Since then, I have worked with both VB .NET and C# working on a multitude of windows, web and service applications.

Currently, my role has moved beyond developer and as much as I like to sit down and write some code, I find myself managing contractors, services and infrastructure more than coding. I still mentor developers from time to time, most often refactoring code others write that I do writing my own.
