I've been working professionally in Windows development since 1993, beginning with Visual Basic 4.0, MS Access 2.0, and FoxPro 2.6. Over the years, I've been involved with every aspect of the SDLC, from planning and requirements gathering, through design and development, to testing, implementation, and maintenance.

I graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1990 with, of all things, a music degree. (I know, getting a music degree from Harvard is like getting a law degree from Julliard, but at the time I planned a career as an orchestral conductor.) My wife and I are the proud parents of two cats.
