I am a 30 year veteran of the tech industry with a broad range of experience from software design and engineering to public company management.
I have two adult children who have families of their own and live in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I live with my wife, an attorney, in the Santa Clarita Valley, California, on a 2 acre horse property which provides a refuge for us both from the hubbub of working in the environs of Los Angeles.
We are both active people and we run and cycle regularly. This summer of 2010 we will be traveling to Peru on a missions trip with our Church – the Newhall Church of the Nazarene.
My main extra-mural activities are flying (PPL) and music. My wife and I host an open mic called Hope-N-Mic in both Newhall in Los Angeles County and Olde Town Orange in Orange County. We are very supportive of the local musicians and attend other open mic evenings on a regular basis. I play acoustic guitar in the worship team at the church and play bass and a little piano.
I fly out of Santa Paula airport currently renting Cessna 172s from CP Aviation, although I confess I’d like to build an RV-7 or RV-10 one day.
I generally have a couple of projects going in addition to work and “play”. For example I decided to learn to play the saxophone so, having purchased an alto sax, I’m “having at it” ! I write songs and because I think the piano is a better instrument for composition I plan on getting piano lessons “soon”.
I am presently working on a project to drive traffic to web sites with greater accuracy and specificity than that provided by the generic search engines and things such as Google Adwords (trademark Google).
I also maintain a couple of web sites for friends. Please see the ‘blog roll’ list in the right column.
