Greetings and salutations

Well, first let's have a little bit about myself.

I was born in a little valley town called Strasburg. I've lived here my life thus far, occasionally venturing forth into the world on vacation. On one such adventure (to Las Vegas), I met my beautiful and brilliant wife with whom I married in 2007.

By all accounts, I have been a programmer since 1997, when my high school Gifted And Talented Education teacher facilitated my recruitment into the staff of a local transportation and logistics industry consultant.

In her employ, I learned to make the Web sing her songs. However, simple HTML and Perl were eclipsed by a love for Object Oriented Programming. The day I learned the term I began to harbor a desire to use the technology in my day-to-day development.

In January of 2007 - nearly 10 years after beginning my career on the Web - I arrived. Today, I use Java to develop across all tiers. There are good days and bad days, but the good days outnumber the bad - isn't this what we are all striving for?

If you're interested, you can read about my trials and tribulations here in "Blog" - my weekly journal on the challenges of being a Java developer. From time to time I'll also be exploring the nature of OOP development and the ways in which it imitates life.
