I'm a Software Engineer in Cleveland OH, .NET web developer, and Manager of Software Engineering. In my spare time I like to learn and experiment with dynamic and functional languages, speak at conferences, and blog. Outside of programming, I'm a trombone player in a big band and a traditional jazz band, as well as with orchestras on occasion. And I like to play around on piano and guitar. Music is fun. I also enjoy running, I did my first half marathon last year.
