Personal Description

I began my career in Information Technology right out of high school.  Back then I was only selling computers, but I had a passion for answering the tough questions.  Since then, I've worked my way up through tech support and help desk, on to dedicated support.  Later I found my way into programming (Web, Windows, and just a touch of linux scripting).  Finally I found a real affinity for SQL programming and administration.

Now I'm a Database Engineer!  I do everything there is to do with databases:
Business Analysis to gather the business requirements for the database; Database Architecting to design the logical design of the database; Database Development to actually build the objects needed by the business logic; finally, Database Administration to keep the database running in top form, and making sure there is a disaster recovery plan.

I'm always the go-to guy when there is a database question, so here I am!  Fire away with your questions!

Hobbies

In my free time, I help non-profits with their technology and business needs.  I'm also active at my local gym.  Over the past year I've dropped 70 pounds.  While working at the gym, I share with others the "secrets" of my success.  You can read all about them at http://ourBodyTransformations.com.  I enjoy gardening and home improvement.  I'm also a fan of video games, and simply hanging out with my friends.
