About Me

Left high school to work full-time and get an undergraduate degree. Left college to work more-than-full-time. Moved to Washington from San Diego, and got into the defense business. Spent a very long time working far too much in defense and other high-intensity industries. Took almost a year off to teach some, write some, and rearrange priorities.

Now more relaxed than before and less interested in money than in challenge and learning, I'm spending most of my time trying to help people avoid the common mistakes many organizations and IT rookies make in their first ten years of "doing."
