Me with my wife, Jennifer, having dinner at Barbara Jeans

I’m a 42-year-old IT professional living in Jacksonville, Florida.  I spent the last decade in the HR outsourcing industry working in various Operations, IT and Product Management roles, leaving in the summer of 2011 to work in the health & wellness eCommerce space.  My role today is a Solution Architect helping to craft the proper solution my company must deliver to meet the needs of its individual clients.  I work far too many hours.

I was born in Titusville (home of the Kennedy Space Center) but we only lived there until I was two.  I’ve never really known any other place with the exception of a few years in Carlisle, Pennsylvania when I attended Dickinson College.  I was a double major studying biological psychology and anthropology.  I loved the Dickinson campus though I was not particularly happy at the College.

I live with my wife, who also attended Dickinson, in the Fort Caroline area of town and much of our lives revolved around a Boston Terrier named Clancy.  He passed away in April 2013, and we started fostering Bostons a few weeks later to alleviate the quiet in our home.
