About Me
I graduated from the Monfort College of Business at the University of Northern Colorado in the spring of 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, emphasis in Computer Information Systems. Prior to that, I was employed by FedEx for 16 years before going into software development.
After graduation I spent some time working for SharperAgent, a company in Denver Colorado that provides marketing and customer relationship solutions to the real estate and mortgage industries. While there I was involved in some very innovative use of technology in providing web based solutions. I spent a great deal of time working with XML / XSLT, JavaScript and XHTML / CSS web design.
In the fall of 2006 I was very fortunate to begin working for Eclipse Software Systems, Inc. in Greeley, CO. We create solutions for safety and regulation compliance in the trucking industry. My work involves a number of very interesting technologies with Delphi and C# being the primary languages.
The Eclipse development team follows Agile practices and lately I have become very interested in the study and application of Lean principles to the software development world.
Some Interesting Sites
Below are listed some sites that are of special interest to me. Many of them are sites that I created or helped create. Lately I have been using DotNetNuke quite a bit since it seems to solve a lot of the common problems that are needed by most web sites. The site you are currently on is an Umbraco site, a considerably more powerful CMS but more difficult to set up and maintain.
