about

There's not going to be much here. I've tried to maintain a personal blog in the past, but I just don't have time (nor much to say it seems :). I've been developing software for almost 30 years (and getting paid for it for over 20).

I spent a long time as a Java developer, but grew dissatisfied with it when it became clear that it was turning into a preisthood that was more interested in maximizing billable time instead of providing good value. Instead, for the past 5 years or so, I've been using Ruby on Rails to develop some amazing web based applications and services.

Having worked for startups for most of my career, I've been taking a crack at it myself as the founder of Pennyminder.com, Chipped.In and Sourdough Labs and also as the co-founder (and CTO) of SharableThings.com.

I am married to the most wonderful girl who also happens to be my best friend.
