By day I'm a Professional Engineer, doing .NET, VB6, SQL Server, and Automation (Ladder Logic, etc.) programming.

On weekends I write and maintain an open source extensible application framework called SoapBox Core.

In the evenings I provide front line technical support for moms4mom.com and I help out with administrative tasks (like formatting stuff). I also pitch in as a moderator from time to time.

You can follow me on twitter.
