You've found your way to my little corner of the world. As you can probably tell, I'm the man that brings you this site. First a little background.
I've been doing software development since the 1970s, which is way longer than I can even fathom. I earned my degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I've worked for or started companies like IBM, Burroughs, Apple, NetManage, Moniker, Meridian Data, Cheyenne, Agate, fusionOne, and Silverback Systems. You can see all the details in my resume. Currently I'm a partner at Waverley Software. We provide software development outsourcing services using awesome offshore developers to all kinds of great software companies. If you need help building great products you should definitely contact me.
I have a number of interests that have received a varied amount of focus over the years. I've always been big on math and science and have translated that primarily into my love of technology in general, and software in particular. I've always loved astronomy and break out the 10-inch Meade telescope I have whenever I get the chance. I also love road bicycling and have been riding seriously for many years. I ride in the mountains of Santa Cruz on my Project One Trek pretty much every day. Lately I've been pursuing an interest in evolutionary biology. Go figure.
I've built a few websites over the years and enjoy working with the very latest standards in HTML, XML, and CSS. If you're a fan of any of my simple yet clean websites, feel free to contact me to discuss the possibilities.
I live in Santa Cruz, CA with my wife Charlotte and my kids Nick, Monica, and Gabe. I love it here and though I've moved many times in the past, I think I've finally found my real home and plan on hanging out here for quite a while.

I've been a cycling nut for more years than I care to remember. I started to ride more seriously while I worked for Burroughs in Boulder. I was riding a Mercian at the time and enjoyed riding local routes like the Morgul Bismark and along the front range. I recall the time the Coors Classic had a criterium right across from my aparment near North Boulder Park. Looking back, I sure wish I had ridden even more at that time. I had no idea how awesome Boulder was for cycling during that era, and how special a time it was for US cycling.
I became a truly serious rider after moving to California to work for Apple. I spent many years riding with a great group of people like Larry Nolan, Scott Leahy, Kurt Kruger, Mark Francavilla, Tim Larson, Randy Pufahl, Richard Andersen, and quite a few others. Our lunch time ride was really the start of quite a tradition at Apple. I spent most of those years riding a Serotta and doing the occasional race.
After so many great years of riding with an outstanding group, it was a big transition getting used to riding on my own once I left Apple for the startup world. Of course the time demands and arrival of children also played a big role in cutting back my riding. After many years without satisfying my love of riding, I finally got back into it following my departure from fusionOne in 2002. I was amazed how fast I shed the pounds and got back into great shape. I rewarded my efforts with the latest carbon fiber wonder from Trek.
Nowadays you'll find me riding the mountains of Santa Cruz pretty much every day. I ride mostly on my own, but sometimes ride with friends on the weekend in Santa Cruz. You might also find me riding with the UCSC guys occasionally. I've recently picked up the racing bug again and plan on a number of USCF road and track races. Stay tuned for the latest results.
