About Me...

Background

I've been in NJ since 1991, but started out as a fourth generation Bostonian. After 25 years I headed out to Los Angeles for two years of graduate work at UCLA and consulting at Citicorp/TTI and Symantec, finally ending up in NJ to start a family. Along the way I've worked and consulted for a few companies and started an Apple Macintosh Consulting practice.

When not working with clients, you'll find me with my wife and four sons, or pursuing my hobbies of singing with my barbershop a cappella group, performing with local community theater, or taking photographs.

Companies

Worked as an employee and a consultant from 1983 to the present for several companies: Wang Laboratories, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Citicorp / TTI, Symantec, Graphex, Ehrlich Multimedia, Aaron Marcus, Voyager Company, and InterActions Media. With projects along the way for AT&T, MTV, Sabre, software{ART}space and others.

Education

UMass Amherst Elected to Phi Beta Kappa, graduated Cum Laude, from The University of Massachusetts, Amherst with a B.S. in Computer Science.

UCLA Advanced to Candidacy for M.S. in Computer Science, Computer Architecture, Fault Tolerant Design, and Parallel Simulation.

Really Technical Stuff

I've been writing software since 1977. If you scan the internet carefully, you may find some source code of mine dating back to 1986. At Digital Equipment Corporation I developed software used to verify computer processor design and function at the architectural level. At Graphex I worked on some parallel rendering code and a high resolution PostScript interpreter.

Yes, I still develop software and will probably never stop. Everything from high performance numerical computation and database apps that sit behind web page search engines to games and educational applications.
