Personal

Background

I grew up in Santa Clarita CA, where I graduated from William S. Hart High School in 1994. I then left sunny southern California to study Computer Science at MIT in Boston. I graduated with my Master's of Engineering in Computer Science in June 1999. My very (beautiful|patient|funny|t0ta11y l33t) wife Debbie and I have been married since the summer of 2002.

Current

After 5 years in the Air Force, I have moved on to private sector computer consulting. I am currently working as a Consultant for MANDIANT in New York City.

Some Sites I Recommend

OK, so in typical mid-90s style I used to have a list here of links to "cool" websites. These days I tend to get my information via RSS, and occasionally browse blogdex.net, slashdot.com and fark.com for some light entertainment.
