Member Profile:
Thanks for viewing my profile.  Hopefully I have helped answer a question or two.  

I became a member/fan of EE in 2004 after stumbling onto it googling for an answer to a question.  I later became involved with answering questions.  August of 2008, I decided to be a bit more active.  Maybe my passion turned to obsession considering I had about 55k points then and no certifications.  

SQL and Java Programming is where you will typically find me...

My goal is to hopefully give back at least a fraction of what some of the EE legends have given me as I can always count on EE having a solution or thought that inspires me to find solution I am looking for.

As others here on EE, I don't mind you dropping me a line as long as questions are handled here on EE:

Best regards,
