Welcome to my website! These pages describe some of my various projects and hobbies.I hope you find something interesting, entertaining, and maybe even useful here.

A little about me...
I worked as an electronics technician for a well-known corporation for awhile until the "right-sizing" trend finally caught up with me four years ago. I then returned to college life, graduating from Colorado State University in 2004 with a bachelors in Computer Science and Geospatial Information Systems. Since then, I found work as a computer programmer in what I believe is one of the most beautiful areas in North America. The climate here in Jackson WY can be harsh in winter, and local wages are minimal, but the scenery is awesome, the people are friendly, and opportunities for outdoor recreation are second to none!

Over the years I have had numerous hobbies (far too many for my own good); ranging from skiing, camping, hiking, kayaking, model rocketry, photography, to telescope making, and robotics. I have posted some pages detailing a few of (I think) my more interesting hobby projects. Updates and more pages are planned as I find time to write them.

If you are interested in astronomy, please also visit my PlanetWatch website. PlanetWatch is my shareware Solar System atlas/simulation software. Although PlanetWatch is an old program developed long before I returned to school; it still holds its own against many astronomy simulators - and it runs on any version of Windows from 3.0 to XP!

Comments and questions are welcome. But please NO SPAM!

Now go forth and explore my website... and have fun!
