This is my background

This is just some stuff about me.

I was born in Skokie, IL. Which is a little outside of Chicago. We moved down to Raleigh, NC. in the mid '80's when my dad was transfered. I graduated from North Carolina State University with a B.S. in Textiles. With the NAFTA agreement most of the Textile jobs left the United States, which I did not want to chase, so I looked for work outside my field of study. I worked at American Airlines and was a volunteer firefighter for a number of years then got a job with IBM, as a contractor. Doing so I figured it would be a good idea to know a lot more, about computers and programming, so I went back to NCSU and completed their Computer Programming Certification program. I ended out hiring on as a fulltime regular employee in April of 1998 at IBM. I had no original intentions of putting anything on the internet but quickly realized how good it was to have your own reference point, so I went ahead and posted the first version back in the early 90's and now you know a little about me and my website.

I got married in 2000 and we had our first little baby in 2003 and our second little one in 2005 and third in 2008. I like to play any sport, and watch football and some basketball. Other TV shows I like whenever I get a chance to see one are, Seinfield, King of Queens and Newsradio (oldie I know). Anyway, now that you know more than you probably wanted to...I am outta here. Hope you enjoy flipping through my pages.
