I am a native of Phoenix, Arizona where I attended and graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Computer Science. For the past 16 years I have been working in the computer industry as a software engineer. I have been married since June 19th, 1998. In fact, I met my wife on one of my software contracts. I have a 7 year old step daughter. A new baby girl (Sarah Anne) is on the way.
