I began coding at the ripe old age of eleven (yep, I've always been a nerd). Back then every 8-bit computer on the market had its own flavor of BASIC burned into the EPROM and I was adept at most of them. Somewhere in my bedroom there was an actual bed, but you'd be hard pressed to find it surrounded as it was. My collection included a C64, VIC20, TRS80, APPLE II+, TI-99/4A, and even one of those silver Timex Sinclair "computers" with the chicklet keys.

Eventually I taught myself 6502 assembler, and later Pascal and C. Today I do a mixture of C++ and C# and even dabble with some ARM Assembler. I write system level software, device drivers, board support packages, and tools for application developers. I work on Windows CE, XP, and yes, I am typing this on a Linux box.

When I am not at the computer I am hanging out with my 9 year old son. He just finished his first Chipmunk BASIC game. Oh yeah, I guess that means we were in front of the computer. Go figure!
