With the exception of a few years, I have lived in New Hampshire (US) my whole life. I was born on the morning of January 7, 1978. I still live in southern NH and I work for Goss International (formerly Heidelberg Web Systems) as a software engineer.

My hobbies are primarily computer and Volkswagen related. If you're curious about my VW obsession, check out my wrench blog. My computer related hobbies are pretty broad. I am a linux geek, so at home all of my programming and web development is done under Linux. I've been using it for over 6 years now, but it was only about a year ago that I completely made the switch from Windows to Linux at home, and I haven't looked back. It has been a great transition. I find developing software under Linux to me much quicker and more logical. It's not for everyone, but it sure is for me!

As part of my job, I've done a fair amount of traveling. Most of it has been within the US, but I have also been to England, Germany, and Austria. I also spent a couple of weeks in Zimbabwe (not work related). I enjoy travel every now and then. It's kind of exciting.

In April 2004 I became married to the nicest girl in the whole world. She's a fantastic English lady named Claire.
